On Tuesday we were at the Jungfraujoch and then on Wednesday the weather wasn't too nice to us. We drove around on some crazy mountain roads, walking through a gorge and saw some waterfalls. On Thursday we drove to Zermatt. This is quite the interesting little town. They do not allow cars. Well real cars. They use electric cars. So you sometimes feel like a giant walking around on the streets with the little things going by. Taxi's have to take you up to a certain point and then you have to transfer to the little things. It was a nail bitting drive up the narrow road. It was quite terrifying for us all. But it was a really pleasant little town once we got there. We went to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn. This mountain can only be seen from this area. It is on the boarder with Italy and you can also see it from the Italian side, but apparently it looks completely different. It was magnificent. So, another train ride up the mountain to see this beauty.
There was a perfect blue sky as her back drop when we arrived. This is the view from our hotel balcony.
With the twins! They're all grown up! This was at the top.
Some idiots wore shorts to the top of a mountain. And other people thought it was funny when we were playing, or if you're Travis, falling in the snow, and took pictures of us as well.
The clouds moved so fast over the mountains.
And the girl cousins were adventurous and hiked part of the way down the mountain back to town. It was nice to have our own private hiking guide with us. Peter is the best family tour guide Switzerland has to offer!
