Took me to Switzerland, Interlaken - Enjoy:

The beauty of Interlaken, with clouds swooping across mountains.

Mount Jungfrau's siblings - big but small compared to the Mount Jungfrau.

Roxy, the most famous dog in Interlaken. That's a story I'll keep to myself. ;)

Half way up Mount Jungfrau and overlooking the Swiss Alps.

Nearing the top, Mount Jungfrau's summit grows closer.

Climbing down the side of the mountain revealed amazing views.

Back on ground level, you can see Mount Jungfrau at the back standing at 11,333 feet.

Pristine light blue water combined with crystal clear air made for an delightful trip.

No trip abroad is complete without the local McDonalds delicacy :D
-
Nice pictures. Too bad you left CJ and the McDonalds out.... ;)
-
Nice pics, real Balla material. :D
The topic only misses your pic.
-
Looks really nice actually. One perculiar thing I noticed is that they plaster their flag everywhere! Never seen that kind of thing in Australia before.

HAHAHA This is recovery mode for all the calories you burned while going on top :D
-
Is that 36 euros for one McDonalds meal?
-
Always enjoy looking at pictures from places abroad. One of these day's I'm visiting there.
By the way they charge for ketchup there?! Over here you can just go in and grab a handful.
-

Actually it is Eur 30 for 3 meals....
And until now France is the only country where I have noticed ketchup is free of charge.
In every other country they do charge for it.
-

Surprisingly it was rather warm at about 5c.

Ketchup is free in Sweden aswell.
-
Free in america as well, along with free soft drink refills (in most places at least)
and nice pictures!

Until now I thought it was free everywhere ha. Tomatoes must be an imported item in Switzerland.

I seriously would walk out of a place if they said "Yes we're charging you for your ketchup, oh and your refills aren't free either."

You will be hungry if you ever visit Europe.....

CBO <3

Nah, I'd just get the largest bottle of Heinz 57 I could fit in my luggage and take it over there. I suppose I could live with paying for refills since it's not EVERYWHERE over here they're free, just so long as they weren't too expensive.
Still can't get over the view of the Alps...

Yes, the view was astonishingly at the top.
Mount Jungfrau stands at 11,333 feet compared with the world's highest point on Mount Everest at nearly 30,000 feet.
The air was sparkingly clean in Interlaken. On landing back in the UK, air quality was horrendous beyond belief.

Did you get any trouble breathing when active ?
I once took a train ride to 14.000 feet and the air there was thin enough to get some problems on walking up a staircase. Moving slowly solved it though, unlike for others who needed oxygen.

Yes, it comes on as part of altitude sickness. Essentially, once you pass 8,000 feet - you will feel like you've had a couple of straight whisky shots (getting tipsy for free can't be so bad!). Alongside this, I felt dizzy, my ankle swelled up and fatigue kicked in. The best thing you can do when travelling to such altitude is to acclimatise your body by taking regular breaks at different altitudes and drinking plenty of water. That said, I never had the privilege of doing this!
In all, it was a brilliant experience and I would definitely recommend visiting Interlaken.
Where did you catch a train/tram at 14,000 feet? Tibet?

It's free here in the UK. Couldn't be without my BBQ sauce.

Wait.. where is warm in it :trust: :eek:
-
McDonalds in Switzerland ain't cheap. :razz:
-
Thanks for the beautiful photos, Frank. Really soothing sight.
Too bad you didn't find CJ!
-
I am so going there someday :P McDonalds in Malta is cheap, a big mac is only 5.00 + everything else is also cheap, but here they charge a bit for the ketchup :lol:
-
Wow, great pictures mate. I love doing these kind of things myself, i used to be in a organization that makes this kind of expedits, riding mountains. I wish i were there with you. :roll:
Anyways, good luck finding CJ mate!
-
Great pictures.
What camera do you use?
And iv'e been either in Mount Jungfrau ;) (Too long time to get to the top with the train :@)

Samsung Galaxy S2 :D

Ketchup is free at my local McDonalds!

In an aircraft, they say to use oxygen after 12,500 feet, though I suppose you aren't moving much :3
-
I wonder why it's called Mount Virgin...
-
is all a lie people, a fat balla can't climb that high
-
Samsung Galaxy S2 :D

Oh it is too three meals. Hahaha I stand corrected then
-
A really breathtaking sight I must admit.
I also see your McDonald's receipt is in German. Do all natives speak German there, because I've heard French and Italian are also spoken in Switzerland :)
-
thats fucking beautiful
-
I see you met SeanC on your quest.. was he of any assistance? :D
-

Depends where you are. There are places where French is spoken and German is a second language and vice versa.

After speaking to a couple of locals - they refer to it as 'Swiss German'.

2 years ago when i went to Sweden, Stockholm, we went to mcdonalds, and there ketchup was free aswell, pump it as much as you want.
