Switzerland Tour-getting ready for Mt Jungfrau visit

The
second day of our Switzerland stay kicked off the Jungfrau mountain
trip.It is the tallest mountain peak in Switzerland and the return
journey from Luzern would take us the full day.

We
had a good restful sleep the previous night in our comfortable hotel
rooms,snuggled up in cozy bed.The alarm clock in the mobile phones
woke us up at the break of the dawn at 6am.It was still dark outside
and the body was craving for more sleep.The magic of discovering a
new country made us woke up.The coffee maker we carried from India
came in handy to make us feel at home with a hot chai,courtesy the
masala,elaichi variants of dip tea pouches from Tetley.The various
gadgets-mobile phones,camcorders,still cameras,ipods were yanked out
from their chargers-all ready to capture the show after a full night
charge.

The
bathrooms were optimally used so as to make everyone ready in the
least possible time.The bathroom management is quite tricky on
trips-everyone wants to wake up last and be on the breakfast table at
the earliest.We had set ourselves a target of 7am at the breakfast
table and to leave the hotel by 7.30am so as to catch the 7.55 train
to Jungfrau.

I was
the last person to reach the table at 7.20 and gobbled up whatever
came my way.I left the hotel with the first group of family members
at 735 and after crossing the road across the hotel,landed up at the
Luzern mail railway station.The main concourse was a sea of
people,swiss people going about their daily lives.from the big
electronic digital display boards, I checked out the platform from
which the fastest train to Jungfrau would be departing.

Now,the
train family passes we were carrying needed to be validated and
additional tickets to be bought for Jungfrau visit.The ticket
counters were located in the level below us and after showing the
lady at the counter our passes she issued additional tickets after
charging ChF 300 for 5 persons.

Now,we
were all set to board the luxury train.
