Hotel Gornergrat Dorf Zermatt

... deep it was almost like the jungle, then back to the house. It was clear so you could actually see the mountain again, although I'm not sure how well my old school camera was able to capture its beauty. We came back inside as it started to get cold again, and popped in "Cars", one of the only movies they have in English (which I actually really, really enjoyed, and I'm not embarassed to say I teared up at it). The parents went to church, but we were too comfy cozy ...

... used my final day of my eurrail pass for this trip only to find that the trip from Visp station to the Zermatt was not valid despite being told by two train operators that it was. I also couldn't get through to the girl at the station that my eurrail pass allows me discounts for the train but she kept telling me, 'no, no, you can't use anymore days it's full'. Today wasn't the first time I have been stuffed around by the Swiss. It's hard to believe that Einstein was educated here.<br><br><br>

... out the signs and found that none of pointed to the place we were trying to get to, so we must have been going the wrong way. Very disappointing! But on the bright side (isn&#8217;t there always one?!) we had a gorgeous view from up there and the Matterhorn was peeking through the clouds at just the right time. It was the perfect moment to take a breather and some good piccies before our trek back down!<br><br>The trek down took about 20 minutes, it wasn&#8217;t as ...

... really nice guy, and gave us cool ideas for photos and walks<br><br>On our first day the Matterhorn was covered in cloud but we bought a 3 day peak pass and went up to the Klein Matterhorn anyway, very quiet, lots of skiiers and not so many tourists. It was so great to be there again and to experience the cable cars and the weird fluttery sensation I get at high altitude. <br><br>Up at the Matterhorn we met Jazmine and her mum and arranged to meet them for tea... and had yummy Cheese ...

... br>We had decided to travel via Aosta, so as to get as close to the roadbook outlined route as possible. About midday, we got our first views of Mont Blanc, or Monte Bianco, as the Italians know it. As we turned off the motorway, we could still see it, until the narrow winding roads took us across the other side of another mountain.<br><br>Now we realised this was our last chance to get the police photo, as soon we<br>wouldn't be in Italy any ...

... is still here. We cross the ravine on a rickety bridge. I look at it and then think I've done longer in Nepal what am I thinking about this little one. <br><br>The cars in this area are mostly small electric ones, they are truck looking with 2 front seats and 2 back seats facing the wrong way. We did see a helicopter moving logs and building supplies. We notice all the roofs are slabs of slate! The frame must be strong enough to support all the weight ...

... at Trockner Steg a great soup of goulash, tortzik and wine. We came back to town and I got Galia a hair coloring appointment and she had the whole nine yards including cut which was too short! We went almost next door to the Stockhorn Restaurant Zermatt- what a great meal we ...

... we did not like it so we kept driving to Salo which was a very beautiful lakeside resort town and then onto Gardone Riviera which is a one of the lakes most popular holiday spots and is full of lush villas and stunning views. We stumbled across a fantastic spot to park for the night, along with one other German motor home... this guys were also in a massive Hymer but were decked out with a generator and all. Well we parked next to the lake but in the middle of an olive grove, with a ...
