Switzerland - Zermatt Day 1

 Today we are to leave Montreux to Zermatt. 
We realized that we forgotten to take with this Freddie Mercury statue.
Apparently he is a British singer-songwriter and producer, best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Queen. So if you are a fan of Queen, you will be overjoy to see this else it is just another statue.

Last few shots of the town.
The beautiful swiss alps that make the start of honeymoon so nice!


random smurf look alike everywhere in the park.

Loving these 2 shots that I took before leaving for the train station to Zermatt.

View that we see along the way to Zermatt.
Everywhere is covered with snow.
There are no car with petrol in Zermatt and it is a beautiful small town.
Residents there used this kind of small car to go around.
Look at the beautiful moutains covered with snow.
Matterhorn Museum
Free entry too!
We couldn't wait to go high up up into the moutains.
So we decided to go up to Gornergrat!
We have scheduled to go up to Matterhorn only tomorrow. We have the tickets all prepared by the switzerland tour that we booked. So for this we need to pay.
Was so hungry that we decided to buy Macdonald! We only bought one set since it was too big for one person to finish. It cost about 18 swiss franc if I never remember wrongly.
On the way up!

It is 3100 feet high up!
Our very first experience on the mountains!
Super windy and cold.
There is a cafe up there.
You can drink a hot cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the scenery.
Ended the day with such view!

 
To be continued with Day 2 of Zermatt!
