Europe trip part 5




On Monday we headed to Interlaken to Jungfraujoch, the tallest mountain in Europe. We took the Niederhorn gondola and went up to the top to see the swiss alps, we were 1950 m high at the top we saw paragliders, valleys and mountains.

After that we visited a beautiful village of Grindelwald, famous for itś many ski fields. It was a beautiful view to one of the famous Swiss mountains, the Eiger. We also had a game of mini golf and I just lost to Connor by one point. Dad got dead last!

In the late afternoon, we went to a small town called Thun. There was a beautiful lake and heaps of small sailing boats. What I loved to be able to do was to bring my surfboard because there were surfers in the river. The reason for this was due to a natural dam which created a river flow rider. We went for dinner at a nice Italian restaurant and I had a tasty pizza. We headed for home very tired after a long day.

We stopped in Lucerne on Tuesday on our way to Teufen. We did a hop on hop off bus around Lucerne, after that we went down to the lakeside to see the swans they were hissing and spitting at me one was trying to chase me but I just ran away. We got lunch at a bakery I got a mozzarella and tomato pinnea. Then we went to a church and saw a cemetery, the headstones were flat on the ground and they had some on the walls. After we got to Teufen we had dinner in our house we had pasta and some German sausages when I was about to go to bed, I wanted to run down this massive hill. So I did it, it was really fun. After that I was so hot I needed a cold shower.

  3. Hi Max,

    I hope you are having a wonderful time. I love how you have told us about your trip in such detail. I can't believe you visited the tallest mountain in ALL of Europe, that is wicked!

    This reminds me of the time that I visited Grindlewald... in Tasmania when I was younger. I played mini golf when I was there too... I lost though.

    Surfing in the man made dam would have been awesome, maybe if you go again when you are older you could bring a surf board with you and try it.

    I love how you have added photos to show us the places you have visited. The picture with the mountains look amazing, it kind of reminds me of the scenery in New Zealand. I hope you can keep adding pictures to your blog.

    What has been your favourite place that you have visited?
    What has been your least favourite part of your trip so far?
    Was the church you visited like our one at school? Or was it bigger?

    I can't wait to see what you post next.

    Safe travels to you and your family.

    1. Hi Miss Holland, my favourite place is the Bern because I got dunked in the fountain by my uncle and the prettiest place is Switzerland despite the narrow roads. The least favourite part of the trip is the plane ride and car trips. The church was massive it had stained glass everywhere and the man made carvings were magical. Goodbye to you and the class Europe trip part 6 is coming soon

  5. Hi Max
    You are so lucky, Today is cold and raining.
    Where has your favourite place been so far?
    To me it sounds like all of it seems amazing. I wish I was on holiday.
    The picture of the grass what is that white thing? Is it from your mini golf?
    When you went on the Gondola was it anything like the one in Christchurch?
    What pizza flavour did you have?
    If you didn't know I like pizza but not Pepperoni or Hawaiian.

    It is great hearing lots about it.
    How was being able to see from high up in the mountains ?
    Did you enjoy the mini golf ?
    Was it different being able to surf in the lake not the ocean ?
    What kind of pizza did you have ?
    I love pizza it is my favourite i like pepperoni.
    Did you enjoy going to the church ?
    And also is it any different to our church back in church ?
    I bet running down the hill was the best ! and then having a nice cold shower to cool you off.
    I cannot wait until you do your next blog post, Max. All the best.

  11. Hi Max, i really enjoyed your Europe trip part 5. I liked the part where you took a picture on the swing It was funny. You are so lucky i would love to go to the tallest mountain in europe, was it cold? If it was then how cold? Seeing surfers in the river would be funny because thats a rare sight. When i read your post i imagined what it would be like there. The part that stood out was that you had PASTA! I love pasta i hoped to hear from your next visit.
