On the train from Kandersteg
to Brig, Bruce showed Ros how to take a selfie. |
|
We had some free time
to have a walk around Brig. |
|
We came back later in
the day and had a drink at the cafe/bar below. |

It was time to catch
our train to Zermatt |

Sadly we didn't have
much time to look around the village. |
|
We headed straight for
the Gornergrat station. |

The train from Zermatt
to Brig. |
|
After changing trains
in Brig, we finally arrived back in Kandersteg, feeling tired but
very happy. |
|
Unlike yesterday, there
was no mist in the village this evening and the views were stunning. |
