Day two - Paris to Chur

When planning this voyage of discovery, Richard (thanks again for the photo) and I decided that we’d prefer to visit the old town of Chur instead of the significantly more expensive and high class St Moritz. It turns out that we chose wisely.

Chur is the oldest city in Switzerland and its ancient streets are largely unspoilt in centuries. To reach it, we took a glorious train ride through the Swiss countryside, changing trains at Zurich onto a local service that meandered through fields and past typical villages. It was a delight to then arrive in Chur and take a short walk through, the shopping district to our hotel.

An afternoon stroll took us through the historic parts of the city and up into the hills before supper in a cafe where the waitress couldn’t understand the concept of a vegan diet. Actually, the tomato soup I enjoyed in the end was tasty. Chur really is a beautiful city and I have since discovered that a couple of my musician friends are appearing at next week’s jazz festival. We were a week early.
