Italy-Switzerland: lovely chocolate!

I was lucky enough to ride the Bernina Express from Tirano to St Moritz. The views are incredible and the scale of the countryside is vast, with snow-topped mountains, rivers, lakes and glaciers. There are announcements in English and German throughout the journey, providing details as to where you are along the route etc. We paid about £100 (114 Swiss francs) for a first-class return, which also included a lovely box of chocolates.
