Cynthia’s aunt Phyllis came to visit us – all by herself, all the way from Seattle, and she’s in her late 70s!
Well, when in Switzerland, you want to see the Alps, and the most convenient way to do that is from a Swiss train. We took the Glacier Express from St.Moritz to Zermatt. You get great views from the rail cars with glass roofs … and you also get more sun from above than I care for.
You spend about 8 hours on the train, and you pass through multiple seasons, as it were: it was warm and spring time (April) at the start, and snow and wintertime up on the mountain pass.
Lessons learned for next time: get a 1st class ticket (fewer noisy kids), don’t order the lunch (it’s late and not that great), and bring sunscreen!
