Discovering the canton of Grisons (Switzerland) ... or hundreds of kilometers in trains

I've been travelling through the canton of Grisons on Sunday and Monday (yesterday), in very good company. I've never been to this part of Switzerland except for two Summer camps when I was in elementary school, of which I cannot remember all that much, unfortunately. The weather was gorgeous, and I tell you, I'll be back, for it was extremely beautiful! Also, I highly recommend a visit to the Therme Vals (see down below) for relaxing, it's really worth it, and the scenic ride with the Postauto from Ilanz to Vals is breathtaking. My Switzerland, quoi!

Another panoramic picture of Vals. This is where the Swiss "Valser" mineral water originates from. Has always been my favorite Swiss mineral water ;-)
