THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING SNOW! ***EXCLAIMED*** Hahaha, but it has been so cold, the snows turn into ice. And with the wind blowing so strongly, we get frostbite quite fast. Its like a love hate to be in such a COLD place. hahaha! While typing all these, it just makes me wishes to be there again. Such a beautiful place and the photographs taken can never justify the beauty in the eyes. |
Bonjour~ Welcome to Paris! After a long 12 hours flight, we have finally managed to arrive Paris CDG Airport in the early morning. Our First stop of the journey is to head straight to Switzerland - Grindelwald via the railway train. Earlier on while planning, we were having quite a fair bit of difficulty to decide whether to stay in Grindelwald, Wengen or Zermatt. And we decided on Grindelwald solely because we wish to have the convenient of the buses for travelling since we will be buying the Swiss part and in additional, we are going to the Junfraujoch, the highest peak in Europe!!!! so excited! Honestly the view along the railway were really spectacular, never have i seen such a nice scenery anywhere in Singapore. And we were really glad to have picked Switzerland to celebrate our New Year, a snowy celebration. YEAHHHH :) The train ride took us about 7 hours in total with transfer from Basel to Interlaken then to Grindelwald. By the time we arrived Grindelwald, it is close to 5pm and everywhere is getting dark. Because it is winter, the days are alot shorter. Sunrise at a later timing but sets earlier than usual. AND we were very fortunate to get to experience the locals from Switzerland having their annual Cowbell Ringers celebration. All the farmers whom are single will be carrying their cowbell and started to roam around Grindelwald. It is extremely loud but is also a form of blessing given to the town people. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
