Electric vehicle

Woke up, had nice breakfast and took another hike. The destination today is Oberrothorn (3415m.a.s.l) BTW, normal gasoline or diesel cars are not allowed to run within Zermatt with a very few exceptions, e.g. garbage collecting cars. It is good but we were sometime surprised at those cars approaching us so gently.

Balcony dinner again

Buying food, beer and wine again at a local grocery store again. Very slow dinner with a great view recalling our experience today.

Tired but feels fine

Took 8 hours for hiking including breaks from Gornergrat to Zermatt and Walkmate installed in my wife's mobile showed 30,000 steps of walking!

Reverse Matterhorn

From Gornergrat (3089m.a.s.l), we took a hike to even higher place, Hohtälli 3226m, then climbed down towards Zermatt.

Gornergrat

View at Gornergrat is just amazing. Do not miss it.

Mountain train

Took mountain train to Gornergrat where a closer and great view to Matterhorn was given. This Japanese gentleman seems to have brought his old mother and other family members to this place on his summer vacation and his kindness for his mother was very much touching when thinking about my own mom.

Guten morgen, Matterhorn

Seems like the weather today will smile for us. Impressed with a remarkably beautiful view to that mountain at the balcony of the hotel.

Matterhorn in a glass

Surprised to see that food in this country is not cheap at all even though that is a very much well known fact. So we have chosen buying food at a local grocery store.

If you see Matterhorn floating on red wine in the glass, taste becomes remarkably deep and great.

Zermatt

Took train further down to south, Zermatt. Quite a few tourists were walking on alleys with nicely ornamented stores and restaurants although the weather was not among the best.

Switzerland, Schweiz, Swiss...

We made a trip to Switzerland for two weeks. For going down to Switzerland, we took night train operated by DB, leaving Copenhagen at 17.30 and arriving at Basel at 10.30 next morning. Since we had been wanting to visit there for long time, we were pretty much excited.

Old train

Old train is operated from Kristianstad to Åhus only for a couple of days in July. Jättetrevlig!

Kullaberg

Together with friends we went to Kullaberg which is located in pretty much north west tip of Skåne. Very warm holiday in summer.
