The Beautiful Swiss Alps

Switzerland was my other favourite country so far so thought I would share a couple of photos from my visit here too. The houses are beautiful in Switzerland. Most of them are built from wood instead of bricks and have brightly coloured flower boxes that sit below the windows. I will post a photo of one of the houses I saw to give you a better idea. While we were staying in Switzerland I went up to Jungfrau Mountain. It is 3,454 metres high, making it the highest point in Europe. It is also a World Heritage site. To reach Jungfrau Mountain you have to go by cog railway. At the top is the highest railway station in the world. Because it is so high up there is snow there all year round. So even though it is summer here we had to dress up in warm clothes when we went up the mountain. We had lunch up there and had a snow ball fight! On our way to the Swiss Alps we drove through a town called Lucerne. There is a beautiful wooden bridge that crosses the lake to the other side of the town. In the lake live a lot of white swans. Here are some photos for you to have a look at...
