The 2nd Day of the Tour (Part-2)

3.　To St. Moritz by the Bernina Line (Bernina Express) :

Bernina Express train (Bernina Line) connects Tilano in Italy to St. Moritz in Switzerland through the big mountain range of Alps for about 3 hours. The view from the window was changing very fast side by side, really tapestry-like railway. The train clumbs up the steep route at a stretch. (Vertical drop about 1500 meter between Tilano and Vernina Pass.) Views from the train were really nice and kind of thrill. Around the highest point (about 2300 meter) of this line, we could see the glacier and snow and getting down the temperature less than 10 degree (Centigrades). Many kinds of mountain flowers are in full bloom. We could enjoy the landscape

4. St. Moritz: This famous resort, St. Moritz is surrounded high mountains and could see a lake below. Time glided slowly and quietly. Blowing up the wind from the valley, it was really cold wind for summer. The day time in Switzerland was very long in this season. It was getting dark around 10:00 pm. St. Moritz has a peacful and holiday atmosphere. If possible, I would like to stay there for a few more days.
