2013 - TRAINS AROUND SWITZERLAND - ST. MORITZ TO CHUR

LEAVING ST .MORITZ, I HAVE TO TRAVEL BACK TO TIRANO IN ITALY, THEN BACK PASSED ST. MORITZ TO CHUR.

THE SWISS AGENT CAME UP WITH THE ITINERARY & I WAS A BIT CONFUSED AS TO WHY ALL THE TOOING & FROING.

NEVER MIND, THE BERNINA EXPRESS IS A DELIGHTFUL WAY TO SPEND SOME TIME..

IT IS ALWAYS ODD TO SEE THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN I AM ON WHILE I AM ON THE TRAIN. SWISS TRAINS SOMETIMES GO AROUND IN CIRCLES TO GAIN OR LOSE ALTITUDE, & THEY CAN DO THAT INSIDE A MOUNTAIN.

WONDERFUL ENGINEERING..

MUST HAVE SLIPPED OUT OF SWITZERLAND & INTO CANADA... AMAZING ENGINEERS!

NOW IN THE CITY OF CHUR. A QUITE CHARMING PLACE THAT BARELY GETS A MENTION IN THE TRAVEL GUIDES I READ..

ON ANOTHER TRAIN OUT TO AROSA,

HARDLY ANYONE ON THIS TRAIN.

A PLEASANT LITTLE TOWN WITH A LAKE.

BACK TO CHUR..I LIKE IT HERE & SHOULD HAVE ARRANGED TO STAY MORE THAN 3 NIGHTS..
