Zermatt, Switzerland






Did I mention how great the Swiss chocolate is?!! It's delicious and we made sure to stock up on our last few nights in Switzerland. Zermatt, Switzerland is the home to the famous Matterhorn. It was a sight; a cold one, but a beautiful one. We stayed in Zermatt for the last 2 days of our time in Switzerland. It was your classic expensive skier town. The hotels were glamorous, the food was delicious, the shopping was extravagant, and we didn't fit in at all. Our favorite foods we ate in Switzerland was cheese fondue, and rosti's. Rosti's were basically hash browns, so if you ordered the sausage and leek rosti it came in a small cast iron skillet with hash browns, leeks, and sausage all together. They were so yummy. In Zermatt, we slept in until 9:00am and then walked up and down the streets drooling at all the things for sale in the shop windows. Like for example the $85,000.00 watch for sale. Who buys something so expensive, even if you do have that kind of money?!! Blake thinks that the people who frequently visit Zermatt must fart and gold coins come out. We will definitely go back when that starts to happen to us. Otherwise that town or even the country of Switzerland robs poor fools like us. After Switzerland we had to visit Poland so that we could save money.
