Jungfraujoch and Basel with Mama

Brought mama to Zurich b4 they stop the long stay pattern aft lauching A380 flying to zurich.

Day 1, we went to jungfraujoch. its the highest point of europe. intended to join the hotel but apparently the tours onli operate on weekends during winter.. cock lah.. so end up we yong yong go on our own. its more ex. abt 251 frank for juz traveling to n fro the mountian. tho its ex, the view was wonderful!
 we took 5 different trains, traveling for 4.5hours to get to the top of jungfrau. omigod. i finish knitting a roll of yarn on the way up lor.. leaving me nuting to do on the way back.. can imagine how loooooong is the journey lor..

this trip is intended to bring mama see super heavy snow! n it reali did snow like crazy on the mountain!

the snow looks so nice. i pick up some n started eatin them.. who noes 1hour later my stomach ache liao.. kaoz.. it looks so clean lah! cheat my feelings...
basically din do much up there as well. as itw winter n having snow weather, the outdoor games were closed.. so we onli went out the deck, experience how heavy snow with temp of -18degress feels like.. its very difficult to breath outside.. the feeling is quite scary lor.. but since we spend so much to come up, bo bo muz take a few pictures lor..

the snow is so thick n white until the whole pic turn out so glowy. wahaha cant even see the background!

  Marktplatz is like a basar malam in singapore. but its open daily lor. mainly sells foods, veg, flowers, cheeze, sausages n stuff.. abit like our market lor..
