Almost Peed My Pants Riding The Cable Car To Heaven

Have you ever done something you know would probably feel like self torture? That's what riding a cable car to me is like. My first cable car ride was in Tirol, Austria and I froze the whole ride through. My teeth gritted at the sound of metal rubbing against each other each time the egg passes through the pillar. That one was not even as long as this one so please bear with my blabbin' if you decide to click that vid below.

Btw, the original vid I took was 22 mins long so I spliced it and just showed you a few clips.

So, you've watched the vlog? Thank you, here's a lil' more something for a bonus.

We've done this before and I hope you're still not tired of it. It's not much but we all know every cent counts these days so 5% up to the first ones who could answer each question below. Please answer just one question so the others can have their chances, too. You may answer just one question to make it fair.

• How high was this heaven I went to?
• What did I do to calm myself down?
• What did I bring to eat up there?
• Why did I bring that with me?
• Which of my two ears went temporarily deaf after Shrekfeld?
• How long did that cable car ride to heaven actually take?

So, you're asking what that heaven up there looks like ? Well, pretty much like this.

So, it's worth all the self - torture eh? Let me just clarify something, am not a masochist. I wouldn't even put up to spanking when we were being disciplined as kids. So why go through the thrill? I like conquering my fears, well ... most of it. There's a certain feeling of satisfaction when I get to do or finish something my body and mind fight me from doing. I bet you can relate, 'ey?

Anyway, this is what I came here for.

Shallow? Maybe to you, but you see, I came from the tropics and seeing the ice capped Alps has always been in my bucket list! Yeah, yeah, mountains are mountains but they're not all the same whether you like it or not! Ask any Asian and they'll tell you the same. Fine, just ask anyone from "Flat Land" but prepare for their gusto in expressing how they feel when you do.

The Alps ... it is just so ~~~.. majestic! It's a bit overwhelming standing closer to it. Makes you wonder, what it would be like going up one of those tops, climbing on them ice caps. I'd probably have blueberry colored lips cause the wind was even chilly on that sun shiny day.

If you happen to go there some time in summer, in the future and the weekly weather forecast says it's going to be sunny there and warmer than 25 degree celcius, bring a knitwear or a spring coat in your backpack if you decide to go up 1K meter more! It's brrrr~~ cold up there, even on the day it hit 30 degree celcius!

For some reasons, everyone seems unusually amicable, happy and excited up there, though. A lot of people were gushing and giggling up there. It really felt like "heaven".

These two waterfalls, I got them on the original vid, too but they look tiny on it so I trimmed it.

Btw, I didn't get to eat my bread up there because the top actually has a resto and a souvenir shop. I was even surprised to find ramen up there. I opted for a healthier option though something I think my stomach could handle while my husband had fries and chicken nuggets which I did again, covet. I had to take my salad with chamomile tea can you guess why?

Tea and everything edible cost much up there in that heaven but mind you, it's still considerably "fairly priced" compared to the other places we went to. I guess, I just can't help comparing the price after coming from extra generous Germany.

While we were eating, a huge number of Koreans happened to suddenly appear - that explains the ramen, I guess. Yes, I admit to pulling off a few conversations with them after finishing my meal, just because - curious much, they're quite a lot, plus I haven't practiced my Hangul orally for a very long time.

Oh, if you're from the EU and you're planning to visit any place in Switzerland, make sure to have their money cause I paid with Euro and their conversion is - one is to one. Every shop in the places we went to, do that. We used a debit card to pay for this meal though.

In Flat Land, I'd probably pay 6 to 8 euro for this salad but here, it costs twice. Almost everything we bought there cost twice compared to NL, DE, BE and Austria.

Oh well, this is but one of those fun, adrenaline rush kick fulfilling experiences I had when I was in Grindelwald, Switzerland. I wasn't the only one going gaga there, aside from so many Asians, crows were hovering above the smoking area and some were even getting fed by some amazed visitors, too so if you decide to eat outside, watch your plate. Crows won't grab your food like gulls do, though. They'd just try to stand close to you and look you in the eye as if they're trying to hypnotize you into feeding them. Mind you, it works to some.

So .. You, where and what was your scariest cable ride like? Was it worth it? Why?
