Top Of Europe: Jungfraujoch


Jungfraujoch is located 3454m above mean sea level and it has the pride of being the highest railway station in Europe. More info here.

To reach Jungfraujoch, we departed from Geneva to Interlaken and transit via Kleine Scheidegg


The whole journey took about 3 hours.

For me, 3 hours train journey is a long time.

Luckily the scenic view along the journey is awesome.

See if for yourself.



Interlaken West Train Station

Beautiful City of Interlaken

If you ever wondered, how does a train reach a train station so high by using railway tracks?

It will slide down over a steep slope don't you think?

Yea, there goes the answer for that question.

Specially design cog assisted railway tracks. =.=

The train keep climbing up and up all the way to the Top of Europe: Jungfraujoch.

Tunnel of Lights
And whoaaaaa~


People from all around the world came here for the snowy scenes.

Pure white snow and blue sky.


Birds love to hang around. ( I think those are crows?)


We came to make snowballs!


Some came over for hiking, skiing, snowboarding etc e.g. winter games.


Even the dog couldn't wait to run wild.

We spent about 2 hours at Jungfraujoch to enjoy the view.

It's like we do not want to leave. It's just too beautiful...

Anyhow, our time and passports don't allow us to do that.

We got a train to catch.





Don't you just love the cottages with the snowy mountain just behind?




That's about it for Jungfraujoch.

Luzern is the next town we shall visit.

Remember, there are more pictures in my flickr account and do leave a comment :P

Hope you all like it and have a nice day.

Revisit Geneva, Switzerland 2010


Hello Geneva! Here I come again.

The last time I went to Switzerland was in December 2004 with a group of friends.

It was freezing.

But now, its summer. It was freaking hot like hell. Hotter than Malaysia!

Nevertheless, nothing have changed.

It's beauty remained the same.

To my ex-adventurers mates: Hey Fellas.

Its SUMMER!! Bet you guys never seen so many people on the street!

Anyway, all we can see is people hanging around on the street enjoying the good weather.




You can see people sun bathing.


You can see people enjoying water sports activities.

Including swimming in the lake even they warned you not to.


To wrap it all up, it is a nice place to have a vacation.


Duckies getting laid and hence ducklings. Hmm...all happened in summer.

"It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes?" 

Careful, or else you will have many children following you if you doesn't take any precautions. LOL








The night view of Geneva is peaceful and quiet unlike Hong Kong.





For your information, Geneva is the headquarters of the United Nation and Red Cross. 

It's time to Google or Wikipedia 'Geneva' if you guys wanted to know more about it.
