Travelers Diary: Eurotrip Day 3

I was rather excited about the Swiss tour. I wouldn't say though it was not that exciting, of course the whole tour I meant. As it was my second tour, I thought I'd able to reminisce, at least that was what, I've been showing off all the way. But upon reaching Lauterbrunnen, I found out, this might me the only place I missed in my last lour. We landed into the valley around four, and it was already late. Darkness draped over the little valley, a little sky was peeking at us through the clutters of mountains. Fountains streaming down from top of mountains made a rhythmic noise. And all the clean and tidy houses in distances made that crowded yet lonely dell even hollower. It was drizzling and shivering cold which felt like none other than a horrific scene sequence where a twisted killer was on a loose.

 Our camping site, Lauterbrunnen

Loads of backpack inching into my neck muscle, no sooner the room key reached my hands, we were on the search for our room, which was room number 29. 

Blocks of rooms

One block of Rooms

Our room

After a little refreshments, we are now back to our dining tent, with a feeling of camping. Surely rain has stopped by now as people came out their caravans, sitting around fire, with some drinks; just the way you normally see in movies. And we were still freezing. Food was served in a little Swiss way. A little 25ml bottle was given with a vodka cocktail poured in. Once you open the bottle, you stick the cap to your forehead, take the shot and let the cap stuck on your forehead. You win, if your cap stays stuck the longest! No one was even caring that being on a rush for food, apart from Paddy, he was the one who served all the foods, sticking that between his brows!

Due to heavy luggage, we left our sleeping bags back home. And now as the temperature has dropped bellow zero degree which was apparently -7  and with no room heating working, it was a slap on our intelligence and intellectuality. Now those wines in dinner and doubling our clothes seems like the options to pay for our wits! Hope we dont get hypothermia and be fit enough for tomorrow's prime excitement ... the Jungfrau! Already paid, £90 each, cant be missed.

Bonne nuit for now!
