16th Jan- To Montreaux

A very early start today and we departed the house around 0750 for Zurich main station where we caught three different train en route to Montreaux. We had to change in Lucerne, Interlaken and Zweisseman and in all cases the arriving train was a few minutes late and we had to charge through the stations to get our next train only to find once we were boarded that they were running late as well.

At Zweissimman  we joined the Golden Pass Panoroma train and the journey from there to Montreaux was really rather excellent with fantastic views over the mountains whilst travelling very close to the hillsides with some nasty drops. We arrived in Montreaux at 1615 and walked up the hill to the Hotel which was overlooking the lake and so quite nice really. We decided to have dinner in the Hotel and that was very good but the Hotel seemed a little empty really.
The beds were very comfortable and we slept well no doubt also due to a nice bottle of Bordeaux washed down at dinner.
