I was there about 40 years ago! You didn't seem to have long on top? Fantastic views, though. . . . Alan

@balmesh Hi Alan. The weather was nice but a bit hazy. My son (MonopodMan) (Joseph) and I both had similar camcorders so we didnt get long on top when there were other trains to be filmed. It was a fantastic day, We set off from Brunnen by boat, funicular from Treib to Seelisberg, bus to Stans, train to Luzern, train to Arth Goldau, Rigi bahn to the summit, Rigi bahn to Kaltbad, cable car to Weggis, then back to Kaltbad, Rigi bahn to Vitznau and boat back to Brunnen. What a day, superb. Mark

Brilliant Video, What a beautiful place. Looks like a great transport system.

@mollsmyre Thanks for the comment. We have quite a bit of Swiss footage from 2005 to 2008. I will put some more on when I get chance. We are going again soon and Monopodman has a new HD camcorder so we should be putting some of that footage onto YouTube. Regards. Mark

To Monopodmansdad

That's amazing. We started from Brunnen, too, as there's camp site there by the water and we were tenting. Then boat to Interlaken and train to Arth Goldau. Back (somehow, I forget) to Brunnen. Around 1963.

Great, I'll look forward to that.
