Zermatt, Switzerland















Hello to all. We had a great few days in Zermatt.
We took the Gornergrat train to the summit and then hiked down 3 hrs.

We hiked two hours before breakfast today. After breakfast we spent the day on the train. We are in Santa

Zermatt, Switzerland



Hello Everyone! The flight was smooth--but jet lag is alive and well. (I know no one is going to feel sorry for us. ) We were up jogging at 4:30 in the morning because we were tired of trying to sleep. We spent the morning going to four bakeries for a progressive breakfast near Zurich.
We arrived in Zermatt about 5:30 p.m. We had a hike--the weather is perfect here--probably 75 degrees or more. Tomorrow we will take the train up higher on the mountain and hike down--we hope for a clear day. We will attach a few pictures if I can figure it out. The instructions are in German.
