This panorama of the Pilatus shows the worlds steepest railway in action! At times it reaches a 48 deg incline, and travels almost to the summit  at about 2000m.

It’s a very relaxed way to reach the summit and it affords some incredible views – I highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in Switzerland.

“To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.”

— Robert Louis Stevenson

You might need to get your magnifying glass out to spot him, but he’s there! I spent most of the last week in Scotland (look for some waterfalls soon!) when I returned to London the weather was so wonderful I was struck by wanderlust again, I grabbed my camera and headed off to Ramsgate and the beach.

p.s for those of a nervous disposition, this little fellows Mum was close behind him – he never made it to freedom

“Ladybird, ladybird fly away home,

Your house is on fire and your children are gone,

All except one,

And her name is Ann,

And she hid under the baking pan.”
