We begin with a fancy buffet, cordially provided gratis by Marriott Platinum benefits. Of special note were the soft boiled eggs hidden in the corner, and the juice bar with a lovely champagne… And honeycomb for your.. everything?



We’re now gearing up for the first, 3 hour leg over the Alps, from Milano to Torino.





Coming up the mountain pass, the snow got deeper, and the people down below shrank to ants.









The last half was in complete darkness, so we don’t have any pictures.

We arrived in Colmar tired, after 12 hours of Alpine trains.
