Another incredible journey on the Glacier Express train, which is a slow train ride all day thru the Swiss Alps, large glass windows all over, this was worth the money. As it slowly meandered up into the mountain tops, all you got were stunning views around every bend. The incredible steep, deep gorges, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, beautiful villages, cows in the meadows (with their Swiss bells on), snow capped mountains, frozen waterfalls, glaciers, lush green countryside, tunnels straight thru the mountains, bridges & roads towering over head, our heads & cameras were turning every which way.
St Moritz turned out to be a magic time that will be forever etched into our memories. This is a wealthy ski town. Arrived after 5pm to a few showers, some sun, surrounded by ski mountains & a great hostel. The next morning we were awaken with snow falling, transforming this beautiful place into a Alice in Wonderland. Lyn & I rugged up & went outside to play in the snow, despite having no gloves or waterproof runners, (frozen toes). How lucky were we, now I can say I have experienced a white Xmas (without the Xmas). It snowed all day, burying everything, forcing the snow ploughs to clear the roads & footpaths.
We stopped at Innsbruck & Salzburg (Austria) which is just as beautiful scenery, people warm & welcoming & finally reached Vienna.
