25 July 2014
Well today turned out the best for the past few days so we headed off up the Alps by train.
First I must add a pic of Mary's that I forgot to add yesterday. Close where we are staying is a small herd of dairy cows - all wearing the necessary bells around their necks. Mary managed to get a pic of them early in the morning whilst still in their byre.
A further correction is due for Wednesday night when we went to a free concert in the village where the performers were the South Tyne Wind Band from Newcastle in the UK.
But today was hectic with crowds of tourists and heaps of groups all dutifully following their leaders. Orderly queueing - that great British tradition - has no place in the German and Chinese cultures. The one with sharpest and most powerful elbows gets the seat on the train. Here are a small selection of pics from the Jungfrau at some 4000 metres -
