Exploring Zermatt

After an amazing morning  up at 10000ft we spent the afternoon  exploring Zermatt.  It's a small town but very pretty.    


We  had lunch at a traditional Swiss  restaurant.   Raclette as a starter followed  by  rosti for my main course. It was a lovely  meal.

The town is closed to almost  all vehicles with the exception of horse carriages and small electric "taxis" with a top speed of 20kph. 


Even the police are restricted to an electric vehicle  and I'm sure a thief who was fit enough could outrun them on foot.


We  did a lot of shopping and took in the highlights, including the church,  climbers' graveyard, etc.






After an exhausting day we spent  the  evening  having a drink in the hotel bar before heading to bed  for an early night.   It's another  6.30am start tomorrow to head for the train  station and on to  Geneva.
