June 8, 2023 - Andermatt - Oberalp

 Yesterday we took the local train on a 45 minute ride to Oberalp. It was a relaxing way to see the scenery and enjoy the ride.  Oberalp is really just a ski area and it was cold and windy.  We had a cup of coffee and turned around and came back.  The Andermatt train station is within walking distance of where we are staying so it was an easy trip.

Today was a catch up day, so not much to report.

Still trying to take selfies, this time in Oberalp and the world's highest lighthouse in the background



I thought I ordered a local cake with fruit - it was good.



Train conductor - a very nice guy who told me all about his all electric narrow gauge train



Looking forward from our car

  1. Train ride looks like a blast. It does not surprise me that a ski area is too cold for the clarks from gainesville. It also does not surprise me that you were doing a interview with the conductor.now you must go to lunch
