Suicide on the Glacier Express

We need to correct the first misnomer - this is no express train! 8 hours long is what I call an endurance feat and not a pleasure trip. Can't say I saw any glaciers either but perhaps I should let that pass.

The trip between St Moritz and Chur was beautiful, it was the stretch with the famous LandWasser viaduct but we had covered it the day before on the ordinary train - no need for a surcharge. The remaining 6 hrs of the journey was your typical swiss fare - mountains, valleys and forests - you see it all the time and I'm not sure I would advise doing it all in one go. Save yourself some money and pick and choose routes on the standard network.

To give you an idea of how we enjoyed the trip, Shakti occupied the last 5 hours dreaming up dramatic suicide attempts in order to escape the monotony and when she found herself locked in the toilet for 1/2 an hour I didn't even consider launching a search party.
