We had a beautifully clear day to travel by train today. I had a hard time doing anything other than looking out the window and snapping a million photos. Below are my few selections to share.
The one down side to the trip was that we were on the "local" not the "Express" train. I lost track at about 15 of how many small towns we stopped at along the way. It made the journey very very long. We were worn out from sitting down for 10+ hours by the time we arrived in Vienna. Too tired to really even go walk in the center city and see the lights.

Not Lac Leman (but not sure what lake it is)
Our reserved seats were in the "Family zone", which I have never seen before.
The family zone included a small carpeted, stair step area with kid videos playing the whole time. We made the mistake of putting all our luggage here when we boarded, so we had to move it after we realized that was not what the steps were for. Several kids boarded later in the morning and spent a lot of time sitting here and wiggling around without bothering their parents or anyone else. Good idea!
I walked the full length of the train at one point and realized our car was the only one that had a push button to open the sliding door between cars (the rest of the doors were automatic). I realized afterwards that this was because we were in the Kid zone and you wouldn't want your kid to escape or constantly be activating the door by going in and out of the video viewing area. Another good idea.
