Oct 27 - Chur, Switzerland

On awakening the scene was white. I muttered, "O God, it couldn't have" and sure enough it hadn't. It was only the crystal whiteness of the morning frost that at first resembled snow. At noon I was off over the Julien Pass. The climbing was too rugged and I decided to take the train at Tiefencastel. Met two English boys having breakfast on the edge of a sparkling mountain lake. They were traveling by station wagon. Got into Tiefencastle after a lovely drop of 1200 meters at 4 pm. Got the 5 pm train to Chur. The terrain we passed was breathtaking, but it was dark as we got into Chur. Had trouble getting my bike out. Arrived at the Seiler residence about 8 pm. Good bath, retired.

Train 9.20 SF

Mileage: St Moritz to Tiefencastle 49 km
