Swiss Finale at Jungfrau

The following are from our last few hours in Switzerland. We had limited time, but WOW was the view ever worth it. These photos are among my favorite from our trip and in no way come close to truly capturing the beauty of God's creation that is the Swiss Alps.

But first,

Our last night was spent in Lauterbrunnen.
Our last Swiss meal was served here at the:

The view from the street as the cloud coverage began to lift

The sun peeking out across the valley finally

And our first clear glimpse of the snow capped Alps
from our restaurant table outside

As quick as the sky cleared, night came and we spent our last night here:

The next morning came very early, because our time was very limited. Weather had beed a huge obstacle for us, but we knew it was going to finally be clear enough to enjoy Jungfrau. So, for about $250 bones, we took a very brief, yet very worthwhile trip to Jungfrau before departing for Italy.

Most of these shots were taken from our train
on the way up to and back down from Jungfrau.
After about an hour, our destination is in finally in view
The contrast freaks me out a little, lush green
and white snow, just minutes away.
This would be the highest altitude urinal I have ever used
Chillin' with my rib in the Glacier Caves
Saw my very first polar bear
and eskimo
This tunnel was a bit smaller than the others Outside on Jungfrau
I believe this is us in front of Eiger
Snow for days!We leave our mark everywhere we go
Stupid train cable messing up a my shot
Seriously, Sound of Music anyone?
What a view!
How Great is Our God!
I love the Staubbach Falls in the valley!
I told you I loved it.In the distance, left of the falls,
but just right of center you can see a hang glider.This stream is all melted snow from the many mountain falls

That's the end of Switzerland. I will be back soon with Italy stuff among many other things. I will no longer force Europe down your throats back to back to back.
