Zermatt


So I went to a ski resort town this weekend in Switzerland. I didn't ski because it was super expensive, but I went with my friends Micheal, Matt and Holly to hike it for free. Zermatt is a small town that doesn't even have any cars. There was snow on the ground and a sun in the sky. It was the most beautiful place I have ever been. The Matterhorn Mountain was right above us and we were surrounded by the Swiss Alps. The orange color of the trees contrasted beautifully against the white snow and blue sky. I know it sounds cheesy, but it really was incredible. After our hike we went to lunch and then to a little chocolate shop. Coming back was a hassel though. We left at 6:40pm Saturday night, changed trains about 4 times before we got to Zuruch and then took a night train to Vienna. WE slept in a compartment, it was pretty crowded but I mamaged to get some sleep. Now I am back in Vienna waiting for my next adventure to begin.
