Over the alps by train

Goodbye Italia.  Hello Switzerland.

Today we took the Bernina Express scenic train over the alps to St Moritz.

Oh my god!! The word "scenic"doesn't even begin to describe the view we saw today.We climbed to 7,380 feet above sea level. There were blue skies, frozen lakes, glacial melt, chocolate-box houses, green lakes, blue lakes, grey lakes, forests, waterfalls, etc etc.

And that was only the first two hours of the four hour journey. Steve and I hopped off the train at the halfway point so we could spend a night in St Moritz. Apparently the St Moritz to Chur journey is even more scenic. If that is possible.

The photos below don't do it justice. The view is too expansive to capture. But you'll get the idea...
