Got to sleep in until 7:00 A.M. this morning since we did not need to load the coach - this is the first time all trip that we have had two days in a city - and it was so great! I was not feeling all that great this morning - my nose was running and I had a sore throat - so I took some cold medicine with breakfast. For breakfast we had "toad in a hole" or "popeyes" with an assortment of cereals. After breakfast I walked around the chalet to take some morning photots - the two South African boys (Matt and Derryk) joined me. There is a sheep pen just next to the chalet and I woke up to the sound of sheep "baa-ing" this morning. Then at 8:45 A.M. we met to go up to the top of Jungfrau Mountain. We caught our first train at 9:15 A.M. and made one connection half way up the mountain. We arrived at the top around 11:00 A.M. We went out onto the observation deck and it was the first time that most people with us had been in the snow. One guy even stripped down to his underwear and made a snow angel in the snow. Then we visited the ice palace, that was a bunch of tunnels carved out of the ice. We enjoyed hot cocoa and vegetable soup and then headed back down the mountain at 1:00 P.M. Arrived back in Lautterbrunnen around 3:30 P.M.
Time for a quick rest and a shower before dinner at 6:30 P.M.
At 8:30 P.M. we all watched the movie "Old School" under sleeping bags in the lobby. Off to bed at 10:00 P.M.
