Shep Sonstegard (23)<br />
from Minnesota in the<br />
US is en route from<br />
Bergün to Basel.<br />
"I’ve already covered the entire Rhaetian Railway<br />
network on my travels."<br />
Hi, do you mind if we sit next to<br />
you for a moment?<br />
Excuse me? I don’t understand.<br />
a really beautiful country <strong>–</strong> and the best<br />
way to enjoy the stunning views is on<br />
board a train.<br />
Oh, you speak English.<br />
Where are you from?<br />
From Minnesota, USA. That’s near the<br />
border with Canada.<br />
And what brings you to Bergün,<br />
on board this RhB train?<br />
I’m currently on a two-month trip around<br />
Switzerland and do all my travelling by<br />
train. My father and brother are here too,<br />
in Basel <strong>–</strong> that’s where I’m heading for<br />
right now, via Chur.<br />
What did you do in Bergün?<br />
I went snowboarding today. But I also<br />
came here once for the night sledging,<br />
that was really awesome! Switzerland is<br />
What other places in Switzerland<br />
have you visited?<br />
I’ve also been to St. Moritz, Davos and<br />
Laax <strong>–</strong> that is definitely where I had the<br />
biggest fun snowboarding!<br />
So this isnʼt the first time you have<br />
travelled with the RhB …<br />
As a matter of fact, it isn’t. I think I’ve<br />
already covered the entire RhB network<br />
on my travels.<br />
And what did you like best about<br />
your trips with the RhB?<br />
That’s easy: the ride on the Glacier Express<br />
was fantastic! I would recommend<br />
it to every tourist who comes here.<br />
