Luckily I had found a host who was willing to meet me at the station and take me back to her house for some much needed supper. Lisamarie and I had been in contact for a few days previous and were excited to meet each other. After a short bus ride to her house I also met her two adorable rabbits; Elvis and Lilly. We sat down together and had a chat while we waited for her second Couch Surfer, Vince to arrive. Shortly after, a young man from the Netherlands walked through her door bearing gifts of Stroopwaffles. I was so happy to see those delicious treats again! We all conversed in Lisamaries living room while eating Stroopwaffles, chocolate and a delicious German desert made with ginger bread and chocolate. It wasn't long before our eyes grew heavy and we all agreed that we needed a full nights rest.

I spent two nights at Lisamarie's house, but most of my time was spent on the internet trying to secure a place to stay in Italy while she was at work

. Soon my short time in Chur had come to an end and it was time to board my next scenic train; the Bernina Express. This train was much like the Glacier express except it traveled higher within the mountains, which provided a better view.

 After 4 hours of hopping back and forth between comfortable seats which provided the best view of what we were passing by, the conductor instructed that we had arrived in Italy. I have to admit, I was a little bit nervous traveling Italy by myself. I had heard many stories about how Italians live their lives and it all sounded a bit intimidating. I was particularly nervous about how I heard Italian men react to beautiful women. But, as I stepped off the Bernina Express and onto an Italian platform I held my head high and was ready for anything.
