The Glacier Express to St Moritz

On our only night in Brig we decided to tackle a fondue as our evening meal and what a delight it was ,with a pot of hot cheese lots of small spuds and plenty of small squares of bread and 3 long handled forks. With a very hesitant start we soon got into what we discovered to be a very yummy meal    ,and quickly polished it off. Today we caught the Glacier Express to St Moritz and the trip of about 6.30 hrs in total through some of Switzerland’s most spectacular scenery ,and was it just so amazing. This train is also called the slowest express train in Europe , on arrival at Saint Moritz the sky was clear but the air was brisk so we decided to hoof around this top end tourist town. This place is for the rich and famous and now with the snow gone it’s almost deserted, not quite a ghost town but not far from it. The lake outside our hotel is still frozen but the ice is very thin so no skating today  ,the Waldhaus Am See hotel where we are staying is a great old hotel in a great position .we are catching the train to Munich today so hoo roo.......WADDA
