It was heavy rain in the morning when I was boarding my next train in Locarno. Next train, are you crazy? No, I just want to see as much as possible using my unlimited travel day tickets. They are walid for travel on all trains and buses but only on the day printed on them.
So today the first train took me to Belinzona – the capital of Ticino province with 3 old castles dominating the town. Then I boarded the yellow “post” bus goind throu the mountains to Thusis. This was the adventure! It was heavily snowing when the bus was climbing to San Bernardino Pass. Authorities closed this route for the trucks, bus our bus successfully passed through to Splugen and down to Thusis where I boarded red mountain train to St Moritz. New great views on this route including 65 m high viaduct. St Moritz, where the Winter Olympics Games were organized twice was in winter scenery where I was there. Sorry – not much to see in the falling snow…. The village is well up from the station…. Enough? Yes, I took then 3 trains one by one to return to Geneva. My friend Mike was waiting for me with a cup of hot tea. The whole plan was completed, even in the winter weather 🙂
