Joyce is a transportation master. She researches how to get there, when to get there and how to do it cheaply. She had everyone up and ready to catch the train early. The trick is that sometimes Google Maps doesn’t cooperate and some back tracking may be involved. Joyce even has a train schedule given to her by the hotel. The rest of us were not deemed worthy by the hotel. Our first train ride of the day involved flagging a train down which was very concerning as there was supposed to be a button you push to signal the train but was not. (The last thing the hotel said was “Oh you can’t miss the button.”) Eventually, enough people showed up that we knew the train would probably (think anxiety here) stop Which it did.
So off to the glaciers and another hike. The glacier was Morteratsch Glacier and the hike thankfully, flat. There are however mountain bikers who whiz by with little warning – no bells. This hike Debbie remembered her hat but feels like Jessie from Toy Story every time she put it on. The big black rock looking things in front are ice, we think.
For lunch some ate what many consider the Swiss National dish. Rösti (or Röschti) is a Swiss dish made with coarsely grated potatoes that have been fried in a pan. Come on, fried hash browns who wouldn’t like it? Debbie had the Polish sausage and Larry/Jerry added eggs.
Next more trains and glaciers. We took a ski lift up to see more glaciers and then back on the train for a ride home. Great views!
I see there are some very serious looking climbers on that hike. You look like professionals walking out to the Apollo mission in one picture.
We try to keep it professional
