Today's excursion is to the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland.
Luckily we have a driver - my dad - to take us
part of the way.
And then we're going to get on a train to go to the top of
the mountain! Who's excited!
"Maybe they're all also driving to the Jungfrau."
How beautiful!
"Maybe it was a good idea that we made a reservation."
So we have to change into warmer clothes, because
it's already a little chilly here, even though it's July...
but it's gonna be snowy up there.
So the closest parking lot we found to the train station,
since we have to get the train now, is about 15 minutes away
and we get to enjoy this nice little walk through a quaint
Swiss town called Lauterbrunnen.
We made it to the train station.
Looks like we're not the only ones
trying to get to the top of the mountain today.
Seems to be a popular destination!
"Smile? Why? You can't even see it!"
You can see the smile in our eyes!
"If you don't have a seat reservation
please wait in the yellow area."
We made it to the top with the train
and now we're going on a 45 minute hike
to get to the next stop which is a hut -
a 'Hütte' in German.
So it's a lot colder up here. We added a bunch of extra
layers and gloves.
I have like four layers of jackets and sweaters.
And you can feel that the air is a lot thinner,
so I guess we won't be able to jog to our next destination
because we'll be out of breath.
There's a glacier in the background.
We're almost there.
You can see the hut in the background.
That's where we're going! Almost there...
We made it to the top. Here's the hut.
But there's a bit of a line to get in,
so we gotta wait and be patient.
Well, that was a failure. We waited for half an hour to get
a table and then we get there and they said there's no more
food left because the helicopter can't fly today because
it's too windy so they couldn't replenish the food supply.
So now we're gonna go back down to eat at
the base... basecamp site.
We're hiking all the way back down to get some lunch.
"I'm starving! I look like a cowboy."
"Elena you can see it from here."
"Whoa!"
We found Sid!
All this time he's been stuck here...
in Switzerland! Who would've guessed?
I don't know where this tunnel is taking me.
I'm a little scared... it's kind of small.
Uh oh!
It's getting dark!
Dude? "Dude!" What?
"Oh, I thought you were gonna... are you gonna film me?"
Well I'm filming myself!
Oof, we made it out.
"Where are you?"
What's up?
"I said we're over it, we wanna eat!"
"Charlie Chaplin!"
We finished the ice castle tour.
Maybe now we can finally go get some lunch.
Are you guys hungry? "Yes!! Starving!"
Dad doesn't want to be on the video.
*sneeze* Ew.
We made it to the top!
We finally found a place to eat.
It's a self-service buffet thing.
We're starving. So, let's see. Gonna pick something.
It's pretty cool up here.
Look at that view.
We're on the Sphinx terrace.
You can see the glacier here.
It's pretty cool!
Luckily there's a lot of elevators.
Back at the station.
We can finally take off all our layers of winter clothing.
Because it's getting warmer!
Finally made it off the train.
It was really hot in there.
Finally I can take this mask off.
And it's nice and...
well I guess it's a little cooler here now but
we don't have to be wearing our winter clothes anymore.
Now we've got our 15 minute walk back to the car.
We made it back to the parking lot. Yay!
Now I gotta take off these winter boots
because I'm starting to get sweaty feet!
Well that concludes our trip to the Jungfraujoch.
We really enjoyed it. It was a little
stressful because of the coronavirus situation.
We were surrounded by a lot of people but usually
people were wearing masks so that was good.
I would definitely recommend it.
Thumbs up for the Jungfraujoch.
How do we feel about our excursion for the day.
"Perfect."
"It's good that the driver feels perfect because I'm gonna
take a little nap now. I feel good and tired."
"And I feel bored and I need a cocktail."
Alright. We're signing off until the next Sanchez adventure.
