Day 12 - NOT the train again

Well - it was supposed to be.

I had booked & paid for a day trip on the Tranzalpine. "How nice" I thought - a day sitting comfortably on a train looking at the alps. There was no way the children were getting back on a train. "But I've paid for it and can only get half of it back" 3 sets of sad watery eyes looked bleakly at me. "Please mummy...don't make us get back on the train" Actually, they didn't put it that nicely. Alright, I'd weigh it up. ALL day locked on a train with whinging children....or find something else to do. I'll admit, I though only of myself as I rang and cancelled.

In retrospect...if I can move on from the fact that I lost money in the deal (build a bridge...build a bridge), it was probably the right decision. It was wet, miserable and foggy...and I seriously doubt we would have actually seen a mountain. Instead we spent a lot of hours at Science Alive...which was heaps of fun :) Even the redhead attempted the rock wall...but the newfound confidence did not extend to the vertical drop or the spin around and around then upside-down thingy. Tara, on the other hand, knows no fear.
