today we scale Mt Titlis!

A fantastic day awaits us as we prepare to ascend Mt Titlis and guess what! It’s snowing there! When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw a whole pile of luggage left in the open-air carpark. Apparently, the driver was not happy with them so while the passengers were high up in the mountains, he conveniently unloaded the baggage and left. Luckily, our Italian driver, Macal, didn’t do that to us but his smile ceased after the 8th day of travel. Now back to the mountain. We went to the toilet and put on more clothes, for me, I wore 2 long johns, 1 t-shirt, 1 sweater and 1 winter jacket. Considering that it’s 10,000 ft, I had to wear that much clothing.

After the long cable car rides of about 45 mins, I have finally reached the 10,000 ft marker. The moment I went out into the open, I felt like I was hyperventilating. The air was so thin and the falling snow felt like sand. I found difficulty breathing at first but it got better as we went along. Most of us went on this ice-flyer meant for skiers and we got great shots of the place.

While we were there, I started snow-balling people and my victims ganged up against me and it started raining snowballs! AHH! CY hit me the hardest at my bum. She used a really hard piece of snow. I’m sure that at that point, all of us felt like small kids realizing our dream (of seeing snow of course).

On my way inside, I saw this couple cuddling by the side trying to build a snowman(I assumed since the base was round). So loving of them. Btw, this was the couple who wore matching coloured clothes all the time.

Shall skip history and general knowledge for this post.
