Tuesday
This was the best day so far in the entire trip! We got to play with snow.
Again, we got up really early. Since the temperature on Jungfraujoch (pronounced as Yuf-rong) was below 0'C , we wore layers of clothes to prevent ourselves from freezing.
So to get to Jungfraujoch, the top if Europe, we had to take many trains. First we went to Interlaken and the to Lautenberg and several others. The last train took us up to the top and was entirely in a tunnel.
It was almost noon wen we reached. It was freezing when we reached. Four layers of clothing and a jacket was not enough. We first visited an ice palace, with sculptures made of ice. After spending some time there, it was time to go play in the snow.
There were a lot of clouds and it was foggy though it was noon. There were chilly, icy breezes which I couldn't withstand. My face and hands were just frozen! My sister and dad went to play but my mom and I stayed back. And returning back inside the building, my mom warmed my hands but I couldn't feel anything. I know this is a stupid thought but I thought I got a frostbite. Later on they were fine.
When all of us were back, we ate our lunch along with some Hot French Fries. I really regretted not going into the snow and playing. When I asked my parents and they said yes. All of us went out and played in the snow. We made snowballs and threw them at each other. The temperature was -10'C, nevertheless we played like anything!
After that, we took the train and stopped at the next station. It snowed there so we played longer there. Since it wasn't so high as Jungfraujoch, the snow was softer, but melted faster. We climbed up a hill and slid down it. It was so thrilling!
We then caught the next train. Our pants were wet so we removed them. Mind you, we wore three pants.
We reached our hotel quite late, at 8:30. We ate dinner and I slept as soon as I could.
