Up early, then the train to Gornergrat. Wonderful views all round of mountains and glaciers, and little old Matterhorn. There are Marmots in these hills, they burrow into the earth- some are giants.

Sad farewell to the beautiful city of Lucerne. Spectacular rail journey to Zermatt. A noise - "Mummy, Mummy please buy me that giant Toblerone". It's only the view from my balcony.

If it was not for the cloud, with a few breaks, the views, even as far as Germany would be great. In the few breaks I took a photo of the Matterhorn and the Jungfrau. Other photos of the journey here
