• Day 6 Sils Maria to Zurich

    September 6, 2022 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Unfortunately the time had come to depart Sils Maria. The bus was totally packed - in retrospect we should have gotten on at the main station. After a couple of stops, a lady signalled that there was a seat, so I inched myself back. As luck would have it,
    it turns out she was Jackie Rosenthal, the granddaughter of Oscar Levy who had translated the complete works of Nietzsche. Needless to say she had lots of interesting stories to tell.
    At St Moritz, and we decided to hop on the next train rather than wait for the one we’d booked. Love the Eurorail pass - you take take any train you want, except when you have to reserve a seat. Amazing views from the train including passing a UNESCO heritage site. Madeline got some great pics of the aqueducts, which she kindly shared.
    Zurich is charming - not at all what I was expecting. After a great Swiss meal of wiener schnitzel and a huge stein of beer, we wandered through the old town. Wish we could spend a few more days here. Such fun fab 5 days with Madeline & John, but it was time now to head off to Lake Como.
