Diary #06

 In the morning, I was REALLY excited. We were going to one of the Swiss Alps! We went downstairs and checked out of the hotel. Once we were outside, we got on a taxi and went to the train station. That's when my excitement drained out of me like someone had drained the water out of the sink. We were going to be on trains all day.

 We first got on our first train and went to Lucrn. When we arrived, we walked across a bridge with a roof on it, the famouse Kapell bruch. There  were lots of pictures on it and a killer view. Once we were on the other side, we walked a long distance to a beautiful church with lots of gold inside, Hofkirche. We played a lot in there. Also we couldn't stop taking pictures because it was so pretty.

 When we finally finished admiring it, we walked some more to a Lowendenkmal, a statue of a lion sleeping. Beside it we we went to Gletschergarten., with pits where glaciers form. When we went inside a room, we saw rocks, ice: cold ice and warm ice. We also saw a "frost machine". I liked it the most because it had a metal piece in it and when you pressed the button, it would lower the temperature. When it gets low enough, frost starts to form and you can see it on a screen which is like a microscope so you can see it better.In another room, the mirror room, you see LOTS of yourself. Your in a maze made of mirrors. My parents and I had to touch our way around like we do in the dark. You see, the mirrors trick the eye and makes it harder.

 The next part was the worst. We walked over what felt like 1000 km. We kept walking until we saw school kids. The Museggmaur, a schoolhouse, was there. We took over 10 flights of stairs with about 10 stairs each! OVER 100 STAIRS! It was EXHAUSTING!

 Luckily, the next thing was food. We went to a Korean restaurant called Korea Town. It felt like HEAVEN. It was so good!! Then, after 2 boring train rides, we came to Wengen. Once we arrived, we hiked a tiny bit to our hotel - where I am right now - Hotel Bevedere.
