Hi Gals, another stunning day in beautiful Switzerland. We left St.Moritz train station at 9.58 on the Glacier Express and arrived in Brig about 6.00 (some delays along the way due to waiting for other trains to pass),


We wanted to book into the Hotel Dupont (family owned) and when we tried to hand in our passports etc. the lady said not to worry, we'd do it in the morning!
So we had a look around the area and then came back and had dinner. We then went for another walk after dinner and went to come back to our room when the owner heard that we were going up to our room. He was serving us at dinner and didn't realise we were house guests. Trev had commented on a beautiful bottle of wine we had whilst in Melbourne from Puglia and he took us down into the cellar to show us the range of wines he had. It was gorgeous down there - cold - I can't get used to the heating they have here and it's only 22C. So we've got our windows open as they don't have air conditioning (cooling) aaaagghhh!!!!

So tomorrow morning we will book in and show them who we are etc. etc. and then go on our next trip to Zermatt. Love Chris

Hi Laura, it's been a really lovely trip so far. Switzerland is just breathtaking. I remember going through the Rocky Mountaineer train a few years ago and the scenery there was lovely, but with the Alps here it's just so special. Love Chris

Thanks Karen, it's been great so far, I've had to go out and buy some more summery style clothes as I'm too hot in what I've bought from Australia. Trev also bought me a new watch as my leather strap on my current watch has lost it's band holders! Love Chris

Thanks Toogie, we have been having a great time. A few little hiccups with our train reservations, which were not done right from the Australian end. Trev said he'll have a talk with our travel consultant when we go back home and just inform her in case of other people having to face the same thing. Love Chris
