The top of Europe- Jungfrau

Yesterday was a nice leisure day spend shopping the streets of Germany and climbing the stairs of this church.



A quick train ride over to Zurich for some sort of parade to celebrate the beginning of Summer. Kady and I were hoping to get some shopping in on one of the most expensive streets in the world, but the shops were closed for the events.




Today we drove to Interaken and took the Cog-Wheel train up to the top of the Jungfrau... otherwise known as "The top of Europe." Had we arrived a few weeks earlier in the season we would have love to hit up the slopes for some sweet powder skiing. It's spring weather now and the only skiing to be done is with some serious backcountry mountaineering to access it.
Here's where we started, looking up at the Eiger


Europe's largest glacier and amazing views


Group Shot at Jungfaujoch... it was a bit chilly
