LucerneFinally, we managed to get the schedule from E-Excel Corporate Website.
Here it is:
We will be either at G03 or G04 as the flight are at the same time.
Departure time will be on 4 November 2008 at 02:30am.
Transit at Doha airport, reached Geneva on 5 November 2008 at 12:40noon.
It seems that we need one day flight to reach Switzherland. OMG, it will be very tired while we are having our tour next afternoon.
There are some important notes given also:
Time Different:
7 hours behind Malaysia. Means that Malaysia time 2.00pm, whereby Switzerland time will be 7.00am. Its seems difficult for me as I will be confusing with all the time frame between Malaysia and Switzerland!
Currency Exchange:
As far as the currency is concern, we are yet to exchange the currency yet as this is still early to do so!
But one important thing to do is to exchange the currency before we depart.
Weather:
It seems interesting for me as Switzerland is a 4 seasons country, I will need to bring some sweather for this trip.
November is autumn. Day time average temperature forecast between 8 C to 15 C whereas temperatures at mountains may be 2 C.
Clothing:
To bring woolen sweater, thermal (long john), winter jacket (recommend with hat), gloves (waterproof), woolen hat, scarf, woolen socks and sunglasses.
Luckily one of my sister always go for travel, she did mentioned to Nick that I can borrow sweather from her. Hahaha, I can save money to buy other things!
Visiting Jungfraujoch:
Wow, this is quite interesting as I never visit to any mountain at all! This is a new task for me as the Jungfraujoch is the highest alps in Switzerland, i.e. approximately 4000m height from sea level.
According to the notes given, the altitude at Jungfraujoch will be increased, the air pressure increases and thus the oxygen in the air we breathe reduces; Asian visitor can easily get the high-altitude sickness. We are refrain from running and shouting to avoid suffering from high-altitude sickness.
We can bring some chocolates or candies and much on them if we feel dizzy while travelling up to Jungfraujoch.
With this, we shall prepare some chocolates for this trip to Jungfraujoch or else we can buy chocolates there, chocolates considered famous at Switzerland!
