Today we had an amazing trip up the mountain. We did what is called the Golden Round Trip. First we took a 90 minute ferry trip to Alpnachstad. We passed multiple small towns in amonst the mountains. Even saw Stan's town called Stanstad! Next was the cog wheel train. These trains travel very fast on the steepest incline you can imagine. Where the mountain was just too steep they just went through the mountain.After the cog wheel train we walked up to the top....

We left the car and mum at Konstanz and embarked upon the train travel leg of the tour. No one in Switzerland has asked to see our passports. We have decided it is just an extension of germany. 74% of people in Switzerland have german as their mother tongue, whereas only 21% have french. English does not ever register. The 3rd language is Italian and the fourth official lnguage is Romanish. (Based on Latin). Our hotel is on the river. Very nice
