Zurich, Liechtenstein, Mt Pilatus, Lucerne




23 October 2015, Zurich

 It was half term break for Kaeo’s school, so we decided to have short vacation, and because Kaeo always wanted to try sleepers train, we chose to go to Zurich by City Night Line Train. We booked the tickets online from http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/prices/europe/overnight-travel.shtml  We took sleeper train from Amsterdam Centraal to Zurich Main Station. The train left at 20.31 and arrived at Zurich Main Station at 08.00. We bought tickets for couchettes with 4 berth in the compartment. The price was a bit higher compare with 6 berth in one compartment, but it was worth it, as with 6 berth would be very packed.
