Sunday: Top of Europe

Up early-ish this morning for a train ride -- or several -- to the "Top of Europe": Jungfraujoch. Amazing views even just on the way up and down.

And here we are, on top of Europe. (Well, mostly.)

Quite a big temperature difference between even Kleine Scheidegg (the stop-before-the-top) and the summit – 30 degrees F in the sun. In August. So we went sledding.


 descending towards Wengen?

 
Then down the mountain, stopping at Lauterbrunnen to see a beautiful waterfall and eat fondue and Rösti.Lauterbrunen and Staubbach Falls
