Today I saw snow!

Was awesome!

We got up early (as usual) and took a walk down to the train station. From there we caught an old cog rail train all the way up the mountain side - took us about 2 hours to get up there.

But was all worth it once we were slipping and sliding in the snow, and throwing snow balls at each other and sliding down the slopes on plastic discs. Was great.

We had planned on going on a husky ride, but the walk to the huskys was really far and we were only in our casual shoes and decided against it. So instead we messed around in the snow and enjoyed the amazing scenery of the Swiss Alps. Was surreal.

It actually wasnt nearly as cold as I thought. Europe is having a heat wave at the moment, so the weather was quite pleasant up top there. It wasnt snowing, which wouldve been nice but at least Ive seen snow now. Another thing ticked off the list.
