The Chewys’ Europe Honeymoon Trip: Day 13 in Switzerland/Jungfraujoch

Jungfraujoch

Greetings my beloved chewys! This will be our last post on Switzerland! Hurray! Again, we booked a tour with Viator and this time to Jungfraujoch. This place is definitely a must-visit for any traveller planning a trip to Switzerland because it is the only way to experience being on top of Europe, at more than 4000m above sea level. No trip to Switzerland is ever complete without a trip to Jungfraujoch! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think we were given about 40 minutes to take photos, buy souvenirs and do whatever business that we had to do during our short stopover at Interlaken.

This shot totally cracked us up big time. It’s either I’m really too heavy or misterchewy couldn’t handle my weight. I also wanna add that I was carrying my bag which was quite heavy. Lololol.

On board the railway train! We had to take two different trains and we spent more than 2 hours travelling, which was really quite tiring.

Enjoyed the beautiful views on the way up!

Just look! Breathtaking or what!

The husband commented that these houses look like gingerbread houses with cream on top. Hahaha ๐Ÿ˜›

We alighted at Eigerwand railway station as we were given about 5 minutes to snap photos.

Isn’t this mad pretty?! I could just stand there and look at this forever but of course we only had 5 minutes. LOLOLOL.

At Eismeer railway station.

Eismeer translates to ‘sea of ice’. Gorgeous view of the glacier.

We were disappointed that we were given only about a couple of hours on The Jungfrau! It is the third highest mountain of the Bernese Alps and it is very very steep. This photo was taken after we had our yummy lunch at the cafeteria! ๐Ÿ™‚ But this is not the highest point yet!

Dont see us look like very steady like that.. We were totally freezing in the cold! The wind was blowing straight into our faces and we just couldnt wait to get back indoors!

During our trip, we were crazy over buying snow globes to add to our small humble collection whenever it snowed and we were thrilled to see this ginormous thing! ๐Ÿ˜€

We started to panic when we realized we were running out of time to meet the tour guide at the designated area because this was the highlight of the trip! So no jump shots this time. Hahaha.

_MG_4932-horz

I posted this photo not for you to laugh at me hor, but to show you how freaking windy it was on the top of Jungfrau! I was like.. Ahhh my hair my hair!

_MG_4935

Mandatory shot with the Swiss flag! ๐Ÿ™‚ This is our only one without all the extra ppl behind us. LOL.

A kiss from my favorite boy on top of Europe! :333

When we finally reached Interlaken, we were greeted by a beautiful view of the north face of the Eiger.

Thanks to a lovely Singaporean young couple who helped us with this shot! We started chatting happily and shared each other’s travel plans while on our journey back to Zurich ๐Ÿ™‚

The Chewys’ Europe Honeymoon Trip: Day 12 in Switzerland/Zurich

Zurich

Hello chewys! Here’s a relatively shorter travelogue on day 12 of our honeymoon trip spent in Zurich, Switzerland. The husband booked a half day city tour, which we felt wasn’t really necessary. LOL. Waste money only. It’s not that difficult to navigate around Zurich, at least that’s what I feel cuz misterchewy’s sense of direction and navigations skills are quite good ๐Ÿ˜›

_MG_4618

As the city tour was scheduled to start only in the afternoon, we took a leisurely stroll from our hotel in search of breakfast before doing a bit of shopping.

_MG_4622

We walked damn far before spotting Bรคckerei Walter Buchmann! *Heaves a sigh of relief* The pastries were really good but mine was too sweet and misterchewy helped me finish it up. ๐Ÿ˜›

_MG_4668

Love shopping? You gotta stop by Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues. You will find various luxury brands and also shops selling jewellery and watches.

_MG_4641

Lake Zurich is behind me!

_MG_4634

_MG_4643

_MG_4648

Asked misterchewy to help me carry my bag while I adjust the camera on the tripod. Got the metrosexual look or not? LOL.

_MG_4654

We went into the Grossmรผnster, a Romanesque-style Protestant church and is one of the three major churches in Zurich. Photography is not allowed inside the church.

_MG_4657

_MG_4661

Looks like a piece of vandalism done by someone who was trying to be funny. It says, “Human Charger”. LOL.

_MG_4675

We walked to Sihlquai Bus Terminal for the afternoon city tour and our first stop was Zurich Harbour. Look closely, do you spot the word “Sentosa” anywhere in this photo? ๐Ÿ˜›

IMG_4684

Next, we took the cogwheel train!

IMG_4689

IMG_4690

_MG_4700

Passed by The Dolder Grand which is a 5 star luxury-class City Resort. The rates of a superior double room start from at least about SGD800 per night. We were told that many celebrities stay in this hotel. There were some female teenagers seen hiding in the lorry, apparently waiting to mob their idols. Haha.

_MG_4707

Back at Lake Zurich! Told you that we didn’t need the city tour ๐Ÿ˜›

_MG_4709

_MG_4711

_MG_4722

Ok to be fair, this experience of sailing across Lake Zurich was quite a novel one because cars, vans and coaches were also being ferried! The other tour members were also very excited and hurriedly got off the coach to snap photos.

We continued to Adliswil for an aerial cable car ride to Felsenegg at 800m and the ride was quite steep. Someone asked the tour guide what if the cable car stops halfway, to which the tour guide replied, “Don’t worry it’s made in Switzerland” and everyone laughed albeit a little nervously. Hahaha.

_MG_4728-horz

_MG_4733

The tour ended and we scrambled to find somewhere to settle our dinner! Decided on Restaurant Swiss Chuchi because misterchewy wanted to eat cheese fondue and rosti ๐Ÿ˜€

_MG_4739

We chose to sit outdoors for that shiok factor eating hot cheese fondue in the cold!

_MG_4741

Ordered a cheese fondue, raclette rosti and two bottles of Erdinger! Our fondue contained wine. Really shiokkk! ๐Ÿ˜›

We were really satisfied with our awesome dinner and walked back to our hotel! Stay tuned to our next post on Jungfraujoch! Connect with us on Facebook www.missuschewy.com and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy ๐Ÿ™‚
