May 29: departure from Zernez

Roll out! Time to bid "a revair" to Zernez and get started on another looong southwestward ride.

7938

The train left before 8AM and I wanted no more close calls, so I got up before 6. At that point, the twilight was still deep.

7940

Stairwell zenviews.

7945

Hmm, looking a mite portentous up there.

7948

A radiance of morning crepusculars.

7949

A cool morning as I set out for the station.

7951

A last look at the extensive Bär & Post complex.

7959

A last look at the central square. Or, the sky above the central square, mostly.

7968

Good morning, San Antonius.

7970

A nice, rather Art Nouveau sgraffito corner.

7972

Arrival at the station with plenty of time to spare.

7974

Sunrise proceeding down the mountain.

7978

Downvalley, Piz Linard was still bewölkt.

7982

A scant 15 minutes later, the sun had arrived and the train was arriving.

7983

A sunny look up the Spöl River valley to the southeast as we departed.

7986

See ya, Zernez.

7991

At no point did the clouds cease to be consummately alpine.

7997

Morning riparian cows.

8000

I rode the bicycle car to Sagliains. It was capacious.

8004

At least for a moment, Piz Linard cleared.

8017

A cute fountain in front of the Susch nursery.

8018

So long, Susch.

8024

After a switch of trains at Sagliains, a last glimpse of the Engadin, then back into the Vereina Tunnel — on purpose this time — to head back to Klosters.
