As the sun slowly approaches the horizon, I eat my breakfast (2 buns with butter and jam with coffee) and appreciate the connection my train travels give me with the continent.

Other 3 passengers arrive at the next station. I've made my bed and plan to sleep early. The heat won't make it easy though.

🌈☔🌦️🍄 (wmd@chaos.social)'s status on Thursday, 07-Sep-2023 01:43:26 JST 🌈☔🌦️🍄 Decided to take a cog train up to the top of mount rigi. Takes 45min up and 45min down and they dont go often, so no furter stops afyer this until milano. Not cheap either, they're not included in interrail but you get 50% discount. Still 39,- for a return ticket.
The view is utterly spectacular however, the train is also fun (also bumpy and noisy). I enjoyed my lunch at the top at almost 1800m. Best idea of the day so far.
Now waiting for the train back down.
