Glacier Express

Last week, we made a short trip to Zermatt via the Glacier Express. The train ride was wonderful - simply fantastic views. We stayed a night in Zermatt and thought that we might go up to the mountains and see the Glacier Palace (some ice sculptures and stuff). Unfortunately, it wasn't the right season for that so we took the boys to a little adventure park. There they tried abseiling, walking across wobbly bridges, nets, etc. They were nervous initially but felt proud of themselves afterwards.



The boys and their travelling companions - Bumpy (the Heffalump) and Pickle (the Pig).

Views don't matter to sleepy boys.

Looking at the memorial stones erected behind the church in Zermatt. Many have lost their lives on the nearby mountains.
