To Glion and Beyond



This Saturday  Agata, Marcus and Valya decided to some gentle hiking in the area just above Montreux.   We parked in the railway station and for the next hour of so it was up, up, up to Glion and eventually to Caux




We have run the route through Caux on the way to Rochers de Naye.  So a little embarrassing that we did not immediately find the track by the river up


 Approaching Glion.  Shockingly beautiful

 This is the Goldenpass line from Montreux to Rochers de Naye


The Bees and plants confirm that Summer 2012 is indeed here, and it's only March

On our descent we started talking to an amazing 82 year old Swiss lady.  She inches her way up and down from Montreux to Caux to tend to her garden  Simply amazing.





So we had a nice day out.  Thanks Global Warming.
