The Rhine River

After spending the night at the Three Kings in Chur we caught the train and connected with a river boat cruise on the Rhine out of the North side of Lake Kontanz. The water was low in the river so we had to take a bus at Stein on Rhine to bypass that portion and make it down to Rhine Falls.

Glacier Express and St. Moritz

Our next travel day was one that had to be reserved on the train. We did our best to pick a good weather day and we headed out early with a room rented at the other end of the country in Chur because of the lengthy time to travel. We were not disappointed even though it was quite a challenge to get good photos through the glare of the Glacier Express panoramic windows. Barbara remembers staying at this hotel in St. Moritz as a teenager!

Lausanne

Our feet were hurting and the weather was not the best so we decided to take a day off and poke around Lausanne. We ended up in Ouchy near the Olympic headquarters and enjoyed the market in Place de Maurice Bejart.

Zurich

Our 3rd travel day was to Zurich where we were pleasantly surprised by Alphorns playing Amazing Grace. Then a sail on Lake Zurich to Stafa where we had a lovely BBQ chicken lunch and back to Zurich to see Zwingli's church and the Old Town along the river.

Geneve

Our second day was on Lac Leman and Geneve. We saw the Jet d'eau and visited the Reformation Museum, then had a fondue at Hotel Les Armuers. Very French

Neuchatel

Lake Neuchatel is not on many tourist list for those visiting Switzerland but we wanted to give the lake a go as a trial for our travel pass and were pleasantly surprised with both the cruise and the city.
