10 July’ 2005
Well that is one part of the day. We stopped at the gondola office at Stechelburg and spent 400 + francs on passes to ride the lifts, trams trains and gondolas thru the Jungfrau region of the Alps. The pass is good for six days with three days being free and 3 days being half price. It was very cloudy and threatening rain so we opted to wait till the weather cleared up some before taking our free days. After dinner at camp we decided we would pay half price to ride the gondola to Murren for dessert. Well the bus had stopped running so we had to walk about 1 mile. By the time we reached the station we had missed the gondola. Needless to say we were really frustrated. We walked another 1 ½ miles back to the Stechelburg hotel where we had big…. desserts. Tomorrow we will start to use our passes.
