Zermatt Switzerland

We went to Zermatt. It was a two hour bus ride, then because Zermatt is a gas free village, we had to park and take a train in. Only a limited amount of electric cars are allowed there. We then shopped a little, took a train up the mountain,

or should I say inside the mountain) to get a better view of the Matterhorn which was fogged in. The train was shaped like the mountain on a steep incline. We ate a picnic lunch and went back down to the village to shop. You are cool in Zermatt if you are over 70 and have really expensive hiking boots and walking sticks. You know all those elastic gadgets on the back of back packs? They are for walking sticks. We are having a fondue party in the city town tent. Fondue is Swill as is milk chocolate. Hope I can get some pictures on my blog sometime. WE are off to Austria tomorrow.
