After breakfast we took a short train ride to Pontresina. Here we took a 2 hour carriage ride to see the Roseg Glacier. It was sunny, but very cold. We each had a nice warm horse blanket though. It was a beautiful ride through the village and following a stream. There was fog on the mountains, and steam rising over the lake. The frost on the trees was enchanting. It is like little crystals on everything. It is called hoarfrost. I saw this a lot when I lived in Canada. After the carriage ride, we went on 2 trains, to get back to Zurich. It took 3 hours. We saw a lot of little villages, and a couple of Monasteries. This was our last train ride. In total, we took 17 train rides while here this week. We walked 2-5 miles per day. After we checked into our hotel, we had a few hours to walk around Zurich one last time. It was kind of sad knowing we were leaving. We found a yummy little bakery. I will miss the beautiful old buildings. We all met for a farewell dinner at the hotel. We have met some great people on this tour and made some new friends.
