after having a great buffet breakfast at the hotel we stayed, we left Paris for Switzerland.
i guess Lenka was smart, because she didn't want to tell us how long it was going to take to reach there(which was like, more than 9 hrs if i remembered correctly).
but it's worth it! all those feelings of tiredness/impatience disappeared once we saw the beauty of Swiss. we almost couldn't believe that there is such beautiful place on this earth.
如果不是亲眼看见，我都不敢相信这世界上还有这么美的地方~

really,  this place just leave you feeling amazed and speechless (because no words could be used to describe this!)

yes, please believe that this place truly exist! such a beautiful place! no editing of the photo was done, yet it still looks like a post card.

and our hotel is just beside the waterfall~!

dinner with waterfall view~ it's priceless!

the next day, we took a train to go to JungFrau. although it took us 1 and a half hour and cost us 145 swiss franc(= rm 509) per person to reach there, we really enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the way through.

whenever u hear bell sounds, it means cows are around~! ^^  p/s: look! there are beautiful waterfalls everywhere!

and finally, we were standing there, on the Top of Europe!!!



and this is definitely the 1st time i saw 雪山！(snow mountain)
but surprisingly, we didn't feel cold at all. duh, it's summer, what do you expect?
yup, you heard it correctly, snow mountain and summer, i used to think that it's impossible for them to co-exist, until i saw this place, which is why i called this place, 'the highest point of the unbelievable and miracle'. yeah i know it's lame. haha.

we were really excited about having some snow fun! (45 swiss franc/ RM 160 per person, and u can play as much as u can, flying fox, skiing etc).
toooooo bad we only have about 2 hours there.

and we started with this! and it was super fun~! we really enjoyed it very much!

YEAHHHH~!

then we tried skiing.
well, i would say, hooray for the courage to try!
wearing the ski boots itself took so long. and there was nobody to teach or guide us in our first skiing experience. except some kind tourists who gave us a little tips: let your feets parallel(H shape) to keep moving and make them A shape to stop.

all suit up for our first skiing!

it sounded pretty easy, but in fact, it was sooooooooo dam difficult!
at 1st it was quite smooth until after about few feets away, i lost balance and fell down.
from then, the disasters started.
sitting on the snow is urghhh...definitely NOT something pleasant. in fact it was painful. if you don't believe this, please take some ices and TRY sitting on it for few minutes. i am sure u will understand that type of pain i am talking about here.
that was not all yet. your butt is suffering from that cold pain, and u wanted so much to get up but u just cant. you tried very hard, used all the energy u have, have your bare palm contacting the ice to tried to support your body to stand up. and it was even more difficult with that stupid ski boots and the super long ski which makes it so difficult to stand up and move.
we spent most of the time struggling to stand up and then fall down again. and this cycle just kept repeating.
for the first time since my toddler period, that i am having difficulties to stand up. lol.
and so we were stuck, in the middle of the ski track, halfway on the mountain slope, feeling hopeless.

luckily, we still managed to walk down the slope. and the worst part was, we were a bit late and we have to run all the way back to the meeting point BEFORE OUR TRAIN LEAVES US. if we couldn't make it, we have to pay another few hundreds ringgit per person to buy another train ticket.
really, it was a nightmare. we ran with our exhausted body, and the extreme fear of missing the train, and we almost could not recognize the way out, and have to keep asking the people passing by for direction.
oh my gawd...

but thank god, we finally made it! when we reached the meeting point, the 3 of us were gasping there...the 1st time experience something like SOB shortness of breath...

it was definitely the most EXCITING experience in Europe!

i was really disappointed because we didn't get to play flying fox(which was the 1st thing on my list). T.T
but still, it was definitely a very memorable first ski and snow fun experience! =)

and there is one very important lesson that i have learnt,

It's not about never fall down,
It's about having the courage to fall down.
It's not about hoping that others could lend you a hand when u were miserable,
It's about learning how to stand up by yourself, and always believe that, YOU CAN. =)




No matter how bad the situation is, you will, eventually, find the way out. =)
