Alien in a Whiterland - Top of Europe

We had booked a tour to Jungfraujoch (pronounce as yong-fro-yoch) a UNESCO World Heritage of the Swiss Alps. We arrived at Interlaken - Metropolis of the Jungfrau Region between Lakes Thun and Briez, is the economic and cultureal centre of the region. Interlaken OST Railway Station is the departure point for the most beautiful excursions by bus, boat or rail.
We arrived at 1 section of Eismeer Station - 2865m above sea level to take photo before heading to the top of Europe. The journey took more than 1 hour plus but along the way, we get to see BEAUTIFUL WHITE snowy mountain, hundred years old of cottages, children running after the train, having snow fight, playing on a sleigh and alot of people ski-ing in the eternal snow.
Jungfraujoch is 3454m above sea level, on the top, we can enjoy a breathtaking views of France, Germany and Italy from the Sphinx, standing at the Plateau and get close to the snow, sending postcard at the top of Europe and enjoy a meal at one of the restaurant. If you have more time, you may sneak out to the Glacier.
