Day-20-St.Moritz
April 22nd - Monday - St. Moritz
No rain today, about 8c.
Very full day. Bags out, breakfast, then down stairs and along in the underworld to squeeze onto a train into Zurich main station. Change to another train and on to Chur. Quite a pretty ride along a lake for a lot of the way. Did some castle spotting, but no photo's. Changed trains at Chur for our ride to St. Moritz. Snow along the way. Arrived at St. Moritz at 12:00 and bus to hotel. Mem barely made it into the hotel, ran out of breath. We came up 1,400 metres, so wasn't really surprising when you think about it. Bite of lunch and then I went off with a group on a bus ride up and over the Bernina pass, 2330m, to a little town, Brusio, about 15km from Italy. Stopped and had a glass of wine and nibbles, walked by the lake and then caught a train to come back. Beautiful scenery, lots of snow, no sun. Amazing the way the train winds it's way up the mountain side, zig, zag. Back a little after 6PM, had dinner at 7:15 and now getting prepared for eight hours of train tomorrow on the Glacier Express to Zermatt.
