How Now Jungfrau

A truly beautiful day in Grindelwald, still fighting the jetlag, but woke to blue sky and billowy cumulus clouds and my first clear view of the Eiger. Decided to take the Jungfrau Bahn to the highest train station in the world and marketed as the "Top of Europe". It was weird being with so many tourists in such a "romote" and beautiful place normally reserved for alpine climbers or mountaineers. But, considering the amount of time I had available, I was glad for the ease of getting deep within the heart of the Alps.
Restaurant and facilities at elevation over 11,000 ft.
Ice palace carved inside a glacier at the top.
Alpine views with the masses.
