St Moritz to Munich

Our short overnight stay at St Moritz was part of our big plan for the Glacier Express experience , the slow and beautiful trip through the Swiss alps was worth every cent. One thing I’ve learnt about the Swiss they know how to tackle engineering problems also how to run a railway, how they’ve managed this sort of construction is unbelievable. The Jungfrau is over 11000 feet and St Moritz over 6000 feet above sea level it’s seems near on impossible to transport people to these lofty heights. Our train departed at 1102 headed for Chur some 2 hours down the mountain where we board another train to Lindau headed for Munich,just clipping the edge of Lichtenstein also Austria. This cross country trip through the ever changing landscape of Germany was somewhat boring compared with the high alps of Switzerland, some hours later we arrive at Munich’s main station. The breathing heaving mass of people on there way home brought me back to reality, no this is not Switzerland. An uneasy calm crept over me as we scurried to our hotel. I said to the sisters we won’t wander these streets tonight , an Italian restaurant below the hotel was a sure bet for dinner. Another big day planned for tomorrow so I’m off....... WADDA
