PHOTOS......from Zermatt

---

Here are some photos. We had a bit of a scare at the photo shop as one of the memory cards no longer works.....don't know who is to blame but any ways....the pictures were not lost, only a memory chip fatality. Enjoy the photos, we haven't left for Venice yet, decided tomorrow is better.

Talk to you all soon,


Hope all is well at home

Photos

Inside the mountain looking out...
Ross in his glory on the way up to the highest train station in Europe, Jungfraujoch

A bit of a steep slope
Tried to capture the angle of the train track tacking us up to the Jungfraujoch mountain

The only people wearing shorts
We got some funny looks, we just responded with "we are from Canada" haha

What a couple
In our matching toques, made by Ross

Exlporing the ice palace
Inside the mountain....a bit of a tight squeeze with the pack on

Beautiful sculptures
more room to walk...

Swiss back roads
Cows have the right of way

Biggest flag on the pole
and there was a BC flag also

Hiking in the Bernese Oberland region
Rain cleared enough for us to go for a 9 hour hike!

Jungfrau in the distance
couldn't find a trail but made it to the top

Not what we expected to find up here
not exactly an alpine creature

Nice place for a seat
Found a box at the top with a journal in it for everyone to add their thoughts

Could have stayed up there all day
Looking accross at three 4000+m mountains, makes you feel pretty small

Sprutz waterfall
Trail lead behind it....pretty cool

Leaves are changing
I look tiny next to my giant bag...haha

Into the mountains we go again
These waterfalls are inside a mountain, made accessible by walking trails and illuminated so you can see the falls

Hard to see I know
The pictures don't really capture what we saw but to be inside the mountain, looking at the waterfalls...awesome

The Matterhorn
Made it to Zermatt, weather Gods back on our side, went for a day hike up above Zermatt

Up above the snow line
in a tank top...haha

Matterhorn again
Perfect day hike, sunshine, mountains, chocolate, safe trails, more chocolate

More friends along the trail
So cute...I wanted to keep one

Larch trees have changed color
Looked like a valley of yellow
