We arrived at 8.20 and the express left at 8.32 and like most things here if that's the time stated you can bet your life that is the time it will go, and it did. We were promised intrain catering so were a little surprised when this came along -
The country is so pretty, very very green and lush, waterfalls everywhere, snow topped alps !!!!! hang on, there aren't any that we can see, oh it's behind the clouds hmmmmmmmmmmm.
The trip takes you through an area which is famous for its castles and while they were not the types from the knights of the round table era, I would be very happy to have one as a holiday home.
Perched high up on these impossible cliffs are these magnificent buildings and churches. Have no idea how you would get down to the coop store for milk but I guess if you can own one of these you will have slaves that will do that for you.
The country seems to have more than its share of churches in all shapes and sizes. Very elaborate bell towers which chime out all day and all night. Speaking of which there are two (one either side) at Hans and Rolis and they never miss the opportunity to ring out the quarter, half, three quarter and then of course the countdown of the hour - Sunday was special because you can add into that the services LOL.
One of the highlights of the train trip was the glacier at the Berina Pass (I think). We were very lucky because when we went past in the morning it was still relatively clear so we got a reasonable look at it.
The weather closed in just after lunch so the 5 hour trip home was fairly tame and we spent most of the time catching up on lost sleep from last night and reading. Today is a rest day and I might just wander down to the local pool as I feel in need of some excersie other than walking. Italy is all booked for Wednesday so another long train trip on the horizion.
Hans and Roli have made it onto their ship and it looks wonderful, they have a deck the size of our last ship LOL. Hans can't leave messages on your blog !!!!!! tried to this morning.

Glad you had somehow a dry trip through the mountains and where spared to swim home LOL No idea why you can`t post comments on my blog. But you could try it with a nice comment it may help even you. I do appreciate that I`m asking for a lot, but give it a go LOL LOL LOL
I dont see anything strange about the catering having just come back from China again. The only suprising thing is that there is not a price tag on each eye giving the prices for each different way you could have it cooked.
LOL LOL well to Bruce - I think the goat was a weeeee bit old and tough even for China, although with a slow simmer for a month or two you might get something out of it LOL.
Hans - dont be stupid, me saying something nice, remember I learnt from the master, YOU.
Moi and master in not being nice ?? Remember the first time I saw you at the led, moi in the red leather suit, very very very shy and you came along, then still very blond and flattened little moi with lines LOL LOL
