Mt Titlis

I go to Zurich again and this time Mount Titlis beckons.



Driving along the Swiss countryside.
 




Taking the cable car up to the summit. Clouds and fog part to reveal the beautiful mountains I associate with Switzerland.



It is slightly above 0 deg... all i know is that i'm not properly dressed at all. My ballet flats are soaked thru within a minute of standing in the snow. I had to rent very ugly boots but they allowed me to shuffle happily at least.



I'm such a tourist i know! But it's fun.



Elmo enjoys the snow too.



Taking the Ice Flyer down into the glacier. The silence is only interrupted by streams of water finding their way through the ice and rock.





I'm freeeeeeeezing cold!



Magnificent view from the top. We're at 3200 metres above sea level.



The glacier gives way to signs of summer. During winter, all of these peaks are covered in snow and you can ski 82 km all the way down.



Arik and me at the lake again. This trip i meet some real mean people and i wonder why more people cant be like my dear friend. He's so down-to-earth despite having several medical patents under his name. We celebrate his latest one because it will save many lives though it's still top secret. But it's gonna be very exciting.



I find it disgusting how some people show off their every single achievement and expect us to be immediately impressed. They take stock of everything based on what they know, without stopping to think that maybe they still have alot to learn.

Judgmental people have no place in my world.



Stopping for a drink on the way back to my hotel.



Nice bar we'll check out next time!
