Chur and the train trip to Morges
A pretty rugged night sleep but we know that tonight we will be back in Morges in beds that we will sleep well. A few hours to kill so we look around Chur, a lovely place and we note a Gondola - aerial this time - thinking this could be a good thing to do. So off we head.

... about thirty or forty photos and then decided I really should also take some video to capture the moment and especially to hear the cow bells ringing.
