Zermatt

---

We are in Zermatt, a ski resort at the base of The Matterhorn. We took a train up here through steep mountains and tunnels, to arrive in the snow. It is like being in a Christmas card scene. When the sun came out the next day we were able to see the Matterhorn, a mighty site. Mark had a perfect first day snowboarding, fresh snow and plenty of sunshine. Later he took me in the cable car to the base of the Matterhorn. It was terrifying but spectacular. The little kids make skiing look so easy. Judging by the state Mark comes home in, it is pretty challenging.
The hotel is gorgeous. The breakfasts are possibly the best thing here. Every afternoon, after Mark drags himself off the slopes, we sit in the lounge to try the local wines and then head off for dinner. What a life!
Each day alternates between sunny or snowing. One day the snow was quite heavy but Mark hasn't managed to ski off the mountain, so I can stop worrying.
