THAT Title does sounds like a Tongue Twister!
ššš
Also, don't let your imaginary horses run wild looking at the cover picture... The 360 degree Rotair Car was Twisting absolutely fine!
The Day Began ...
Mount Titlis | -10 degrees
Cliff Walker - 9977 feet above MSL | Gasping for Air
Highest suspension bridge in Entire Europe. Cliff Walk is just one meter wide and over 100 meters long.
My Son: HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA!š¤£šš¤£
360 Rotair - 9900 feet above MSL | 360 Degrees SNOW
The world's first 360 degrees revolving cable car! Treats you with panoramic views of the snow mountains from all direction.
My Son: HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA!š¤£šš¤£
Glacier Park - 6725 feet above MSL | Snowtubing
Me: Is it just Me OR you also feel like our son is extremely⦠I donāt know⦠āHyper-Laughingā today? This is NOT his usual Sheldon Mode. This is a whole new Laughing Buddha Mode! š¤·
Mr.H: Yeah! I was thinking the sameā¦
Me: So Weird right?!... I mean.. He looks very happy and seems to be having a ball and all!.. but⦠but⦠there is something weirdly odd about laughing hysterically like this non stopā¦acting all crazy š¤·
Mr.H: Yeahā¦like mom, like son⦠lets go...
Me: Very Funny Man! Does higher Altitude create some effects on children we donāt know??? Itās like he inhaled laughing gas!š¤·
Mr.H: Haha! Yeah!! He is quite unmanageable today⦠maybe he is just excited seeing all the snow⦠Okay, let's wrap and go back to the base, we are getting really lateā¦
My Son: HAHAHAHAHAH ! HAHAHAHAHAH ! Mommy!! I wanna go in that tube down! 10 times! HAHAHAHAHA! š¤£šš¤£
(Laughing hysterically for no apparent reason)
Me: M.S⦠Are you okayyyy?? š¤Why are you laughing for everything?š¤
M.S: HAHAHAHAHA! Am Okay Mommy! HAHAHAAHA! This is super Fun!
Me: Yeah... It is... BUTā¦
M.S: HAHAHAHAHA!
[M.S slid down before we could stop him!]
BOTH Mr.H AND Me: NOOOOO! š³
Mr.H : Something is DEFINITELY WRONG with him today!!! We are gonna be so late!!š”š”š”
Me: Yess!!! š„I ll stay here and hold the cable car back to base ... š„
Mr.H : Okay! I'll go down and bring him back!!!
[Mr.H slid down to bring HIM back!]
I kept anxiously waiting at the top. I could only see them talking animatedly, absolutely no sign of them returning back.
Something Amiss! š³
AND
The stakes were too high!š„ŗ
We were at TRUBSEE @ 6725 feet above Sea Level
We need to take the CABLE CAR BACK to the base,
Then take the SHUTTLE BUS TO ENGELBERG STATION,
Then board the LOCAL TRAIN TO LUZERN STATION,
And then catch our INTER-COUNTRY TRAIN TO GERMANY!
IF we donāt make it to the local train within the next 30 mins,
We will not make it to Germany!!! š²š²š²
I didn't have my phone to understand what was going on either. I had to go down too without choice.
[I slid down to bring THEM back!]
Me to Mr.H: Why are you guys not coming up?? Itās been 15 mins!!
Mr.H to Me: YOUR SON WANTS ME TO DRAG HIM UP ALONG WITH THE TUBE!
Me to Mr.H: WHAT??
M.S:HAHAHAHAHAH ! HAHAHAHAHAH !
Mr H: HAVE HAD ENOUGH! YOU BETTER LIFT YOUR BOTTOM OUT OF THAT TUBE AND WALK UP. WE ARE LEAVING.
Mr.H Started Pacing Up the Ramp.
I Followed Suit.
M.S had to follow without choice.
(Still Laughing!!!)
CABLE CAR ā SHUTTLE BUS ā ENGELBERG STATION
WE LITERALLY RAN POINT TO POINT!
We were THAT late!
AND
Nothing in SWISS IS EVER LATE!
Also, there was NO workable PLAN B if we miss that train. āEngel-BERGā sounds fancy and all, but itās pretty much a remote village in the middle-of-nowhere with MAMMOTH ICE-BERGS!!
There were no immediate Car hire or bus nearby, The ONLY option out of the middle-of-nowhere-BERG was catching that local train that comes only once in 2 hours! Imagine our plight!
It was quite a CHASE !
BACK TO BACK THAT TOO!
We finally made it to Luzern Station. M.S was no longer laughing hysterically. BIG RELIEF!
But, thatās NOT all! ā¦
There was more TWIST waiting to be uncovered at Luzern Station!
THE REAL TWIST!
Me: Am exhausted with all the running around. Lemme get something to drink. Where did you get those smoothies in the morning? M.S liked them so much that he had mine too!
Mr.H: That grocery shop to the right.
[At Luzern Station Grocery Shop]
M.S: Mommy! Can I get strawberry one this time?
Me: Okay! (Picked 4 Shakes)
Sales Girl: AHH YO GHETIN THAT FAH DHE BOUY?
(She said āAre you getting that for the boy?ā in a Heavy Deutsch accent I could barely understand)
Me: Yeah! MILK for BOY!
Sales Girl: NO!!! THAT NOT FAH BOUY! ADULT WONLY!
I looked back & forth the carton, everything was Deutsch⦠not a word of English! I was confused.
(She called someone else to explain)
I ran back to Mr.H,
āIT WAS NOT OUR SHELDON! IT WAS NOT OUR SHELDON!ā
Mr.H: Easy!! Why are you running again??š¤·
Me: IT WAS THE SHAKE! IT WAS THE SHAKE! š£
Mr.H: Huh???!š¤Ø
Me: WHAT HE DRANK WAS PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT WITH STIMULANTS FOR SKIERS!!! š
Mr.H: WHAT????š³š³š³
My Goodness!!!! No Wonder he was so hyper and unmanageable!!!š¤¦š¤¦š¤¦
Me: I Know!! Our Poor Little Boy DRANK 2 PACKS!! š„“š„“š„“
BAZINGA! BAZINGA!
What a TWIST in the TALE!
OUR LITTLE TWIST-ER BOY HAD DOUBLE ADULT DOZE OF ENERGY BOOSTER
AND BOY!!!! HE MADE US CHASE TRAINS!!!
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE DAY!!!
END OF THE DAY...
We made it to GERMANY!
We were just utterly exhausted BUT absolutely relieved to have our Sheldon 1.0 Back!
AFTERALL... Managing 1.0 seemed like a breeze in comparison to 2.0! š
Relatively Speaking Of Course!š„“
