Day 4 - On the Train heading for Zermatt

We knew this was going to be several hours on a train, but it was the Glacier Express and we had first class tickets.  We were seated opposite another couple and it gave us the opportunity to get to know John and Laura a bit better.  He was the photographer but she was a wealth of all kinds of knowledge. 

Poppy fields zoomed by, gorgeous to see, but difficult to capture.

Beautiful scenery as we raced by the Swiss countryside



Service on the train was great.  We were served a delicious lunch of chicken curry which was very yummy and came on nice china with bread and rice and dessert. 




At long last we arrived in the adorable town of Zermatt. We immediately bought ourselves tickets to go up to the Matterhorn the following two days and then took a cute little electric van up to our hotel where Andrew and I had the following view. That is the Matterhorn in the mountains in the background on the right.  For the next two days we saw it and then we didn't - clouds came in and clouds blew out and we got quite a few moments of seeing it in it's many different moods. 

From our hotel room during the blue hour.

It was actually Andrew's birthday, so we settled in to our hotel room and then went to dinner with a bunch of our new friends and celebrated.
