The Matterhorn

Today we left Sierre, Switzerland after having out usual breakfast except today we had ham (no mystery meat) and a wide variety of yogurt. Exciting stuff, huh?

We left the Casino Hotel (which much to my surprise had nothing of what we would consider a casino; only a strip mall of sorts. Crazy Swiss.) And fueled up and hit the road to go to a few mountain passes and then make our way to Tasch, Suisse, where you can take a train to Zermont since cars are not allowed in the town.

We found our passes rode on the "old passe" where we rode on about 30 switchbacks on a highway that was made about 200 years ago. We met a nice couple on two BMWs who had been through Butte a few years ago on a trip they took. Small world, for sure. We only had a few circle the wagons but we finally made it to Tasch, Switz. at about 18:30. We quickly showered and headed to the train station to get tickets to Zermatt for dinner and to see the Matterhorn, or as the guy at the hotel desk said, "Disneyland".

We entered Zermatt (I didn't get a Tshirt) and walked up and took a few pictures and ate dinner at Hotel Schlante outside on the cafe. We had a few beers and did a bit of shopping and headed back on the train to Tasch. Back at the hotel, we asked where we could get a few beers and the lady at the hotel opened up the "private bar" for us complete with music and chocolates (that we stole from a untendered bar; we're rebels). We had a few beers and called it a night.

Tomorrow we head to our homeland of Itilia!
