Day 6 MOUNTAIN "Climbing"

*Side note: Sorry for the super duper late update, haven't found the motivation to continue writing my 14-day travel log. I don't know if anyone is still reading this but today I finally decided to continue (haha)

And so the journey continues...

It's Christmas day!!!

Since it's a holiday, most of the shopping area is closed so Karlina swapped our itinerary, instead of the pre-planned free time we were suppose to have, we went to Mt. Titlis. We drove for a long while before we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain (it was really cool to see the mountain up close) We waited for a while while Karlina went to sort out the tickets for the cable car ride up the mountain. We took 3 cable cars before we reached the peek (10,000 feet above sea level)

The area was really crowded and we had to squeeze with all the other tourists who were there as well. The boarding area for the first cable car was super noisy (cause there were like a ton of people)

The first cable car was quite small (4-6 adults) We shared it with another family and took many pictures all the way up. It took us around 10-20 minutes to reach the next station where we were suppose to be able to play with the snow (Y)

At the second station

1st stop

We carried on an queued for the second and third cable car. The second cable car was like a little bus like thing that brought us further up and the the third cable car was the coolest. It's a revolving cable car and it allowed us to have a 360 view of the surroundings. It was a really foggy day so everything around us was just white but we had fun drawing pictures and writing on the windows (hehe)

Once we reached the final stop (SUPER HIGH UP) Karlina brought us to the ice caves. It's like really cool because we were walking on (or do you call it 'in') the ice.

After which, we braved the 80kmph winds and literally "chiong sua" out into the open area where we were 10,000 feet above sea level. The wind was super strong and we didn't really expect that it would be that cold and didn't wear our ski gloves. We were all shivering while we tried to keep our smiles for the pictures. (After smiling in the cold wind, my face was like stuck in the smiling position cause it was just so cold)

It was quite a pity that the sky walk wasn't open since it was so windy and it's not really safe for us to be walking on the cliff. We quickly took our picture and ran back into the cover for shelter.

Finally at the peek

We gathered and Karlina arranged for a gathering time and location before we split up for our lunch and shopping. After lunch, I decided to "chiong sua" again and we braved the cold to go out once more for more pictures. It was a really cool (literally...) experience. Lunch was quite expensive and it was nothing really special.

I didn't get a chance to go to the second station to play snow because we heard the gathering timing wrongly and thought that we'd be late if we went, in the end, everyone else went and we were early (HAHAHA... *creis* ) While the rest were playing with snow up at the second level, we were being weird at the car park.

Being weird waiting for the rest

Day 6 was really tiring though we only went to one place. The cold really took a lot of energy from me.So this sums up the mountain climbing experience in the Swiss Alps.

That night we had our Swiss fondue which was suppose to be a traditional dinner. (but it turned out otherwise...) It was a really fun dinner. Since the meat took long to cook everyone invented their own way of cooking and it was HILARIOUS! We were all cooking the "Singaporean" way (LAZY way). The staff were all laughing but they couldn't stop us so they just left us to be (we were in our own private room thank goodness, or else we'd be making a fool out of ourselves)
