Our journey to St Moritz...



We were up bright and early yesterday morning (Monday) and I managed to successfully descend the scary spiral staircase with my backpack on my back.  We made our way the short distance to the Marseille Station and I even had time for a coffee before we caught the train.

On our journey north to Lyon, I sat back and enjoyed the passing scenery.  We changed trains at Lyon and went to Geneva.  Until we reached Switzerland, it hadn’t sunk in that they do not use the Euro!  In Geneva, while I waited in a queue to reserve train seats, Anna changed some money to cover small purchases.

The first part of the trip from Geneva to Visp was along to shores of Lake Geneva/Lac Leman – I again enjoyed the passing scenery.

At Visp we changed trains and continued on to Zermatt.  Zermatt is car-free, which was great.  It is also from where you can view the Matterhorn.  When we arrived last night, it was partially shrouded in cloud.  However, this morning before breakfast, we got photos of this magnificent mountain with the sun shining on it!







After breakfast, we again made our way to the station and boarded the “Glacier Express”.  We enjoyed a day of spectacular scenery and are stopping the night in St Moritz.

Tomorrow we are off to Salzburg...
