The Cannonball Express

Historic outside, but with totally modernised rooms.

Industrial other than historic Quebec, across the top of a service station to the marina and the paper factory & grain silos beyond.

Basic facilities, little shelter, low level platforms & snow to contend with!

Many homes & streets are decorated with Christmas lights, but the brightest belongs to the the Ice Hockey rink, where the cracking of stick against puck echoes up the valley

It’s 7.31am, with the moon still high in the sky and a heavy frost on the cars.

In addition to the usual snacks & drinks, you also have the options of; cigarette lighters, condoms, pregnancy tests and Cannabis Ice Tea!

The Brusio Circular Viaduct in southern Switzerland, about 10km from the Italian border.

In southern Switzerland on the Bernina Railway to Tirano, Italy.

At the top of the Bernina Pass - 2,256 metres above sea level.

The shops in this pedestrian area could have their own outdoor area to display or whatever

Beautiful trees - mostly a metre or so high - only EUR22-28. The smell was amazing & they even came with a wooden stand.

The stone work is absolutely amazing

After the terrorist attack last week, lots of security. We were even searched heading from the station into the city centre!
