(An ingenious engineer built it, and now, everyone can ride it to the Top of Europe, using his railway technology. The train meanders across ski-slopes and snow-laden villages, making it a real joy just watching the winter landscape. At the top, the view is spectacular, especially with the sun shining brightly. At -12C, it really didnt feel that cold, but the altitude took a toll - headaches a plenty! Jungfrau at over 11000ft is already higher than Mt Kinabalu, which puts things in perspective. Being up there gives one a real Mt Everest feeling - until a friend we met along the french highway-stop spoilt it by saying he just went to Europe's highest point at Mt Blanc! Who cares..I was at the real Top-of-Europe!)
