Wow - the Jungfrau. What an amazing place!

We went up to the top of the Jungfrau Railway yesterday - very cool. It was built in the early 1900's and goes through (!) two of the mountains, ending up inside the peak of one of the mountains in a cave.

There were three restaurants in there, a scientific staion, exits to dog sledding across the glacier, plateau lookouts etc. and even an 'Ice Palace' where everything is made of ice! Awesome.

Can't stop using words like 'awesome' and amazing, but this place just is......

Today we went for a walk through the valley to the Trummelbach falls, which were ermmm, excellent.....!!!! and are now killing time while our clothes wash and dry (boring!)

Sorry about some of the sideways video! 😊
