Day 6
We woke to clear skies, courtesy of all our finger and toe crossing! With the clear skies we decided as a group to travel to the Schilthorn to take advantage of the group rate, as well as, the group experience...and photo op!
After a cable car ride to an elevation of 2970m we arrived at the Schilthorn! We spent time walking around the observation deck, enjoying the unbelievable views. Inside the observation tower we viewed a short video about the construction of the tower and its use in the filming of the Bond movie 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service.'
The rest of the afternoon was spent resting our tired feet in the cozy lobby of the Hotel Jungfrau. We enjoyed some ginger carrot soup and coffee at the local cafe located in the recreation center. That evening Nica surprised us with traditional Swiss music from locals Bubs and Hans before our group dinner. We even got a chance to try our hand at playing the alp horn!
After dinner we crawled into bed for our last night in Murren, relishing in the crisp mountain air and the sound of cow bells rolling in through our open windows.
