Today we took a rickety train to the highest point in Europe, Jungfraujoch. What a stunning trip up: waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, cavernous green drops. We had a great lunch with "the world's best fries" and $5 tap water. After this, we strolled through the mountains on the lovely path carved out but then decided to be adventurous. We hiked the entirety of the way, stumbling upon sight after sight, and found ourselves at a glacial lake and waterfall. We drank from a glacier! We explored the Alps, picking flowers, puttered around caves and even trekked through snow! It was phenomenal weather, perfectly blue skies and crisp air. We hiked and climbed for four hours and just made the final train home, in perfect time to book our big adventure for tomorrow. Spent the night on the lake with all of the other people from the hostel, listening to music and sharing life stories. So many interesting people: Hungarians, Aussies, New Yorkers and Minnesotans. So many accents and so many amazing travel tips and tales.
