<p>Good Afternoon Gang,</p> <p>By his hour we will have reached Disentis. Time for a shower to get off all the soot and grime we collected during the steam train ride over the Furka Pass. Before visiting the famous monastery, there will be still time to enjoy a few [B][B] and a little steam talk.</p> <p>Tomorrow, we will ride the Rhaetian Railway´s famous Albula line to St. Moritz, that posh mountain resort for the rich and the famous. The first leg will take us to Reichenau-Tamins, where we change trains. We gain will pass through some spectacular mountain sceney, so be sure to have your cameras ready. Highlight of the line is the famous Landwasser Viaduct.</p> <p><img src="http://www.erlebnisrouten.eu/09_foto/fotos/CH_GR_Albulabahn_Landwasserviadukt_09i6.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>The entire line is part of the UNESCO world heritage program, and once you´ve been down there, you know why.</p> <p><img src="http://www.bahnbilder.de/bilder/strecke-albulabahn-1-rei-fi-39771.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://img.fotocommunity.com/photos/9518096.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Filisur_Bahnhof.jpg/800px-Filisur_Bahnhof.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p> </p> <p>We will stop for lunch at Filisur, where we also can take a close look at the station building, which is a typical representative of the kind of depots you´ll find on the Rhaetian Railway.</p> <p>St. Moritz sports a very impressive station building for a narrow gauge line.</p> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/St_Moritz_train_station.jpg/800px-St_Moritz_train_station.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>There will be time for some window shopping - gentlemen, hold on tight to your credit cards!</p> <p>Enjoy your day!</p>
