Zermatt, Switzerland (Day 3)

What we did:
- Great lazy day! Slept in and then headed up the 30 minute Gothard Bahn to the top of the mountain for some hiking. Well… started spitting rain and blowing really strong wind when we got to the top. The top is just shy of 12,000 feet and even in late August it was still covered in snow. Ever the adventures and trying to avoid regret, we set off down the mountain for a few hour hike questioning our life decisions - within 5 minutes we were scrambling back up to the station. Sideways rain at 12,000 feet of elevation with snow still in view was not our idea of vacation. Cool views and happy we tried, but down the mountain on the gondola we went, Grabbed an awesome lunch in town while it rained before just hanging in the airbnb for a few hours. Around 6 we headed out for a bar crawl! So much for not drinking on this trip. Over a few hours, three bars and many beers later we came back and crashed fairly early. Inches from giving in and getting McDonald’s we did show some self-restraint! Have to be proud of the little things.

What we ate:
- Hard-boiled eggs for breakfast
- We split delicious Thai curry and rice bowl for lunch at Manud
- Grocery store sandwhichs for dinner
- Bar crawl to Hexenbar, Brown Cow and Grizzlys

Fun facts:
- Hangovers still exist
- Steph needed a new hair clip so we popped into a “pharmacy” with some in the display case. She comes out in a panic, beyond phased, as the €.98 cents price tag was actually €98.00 Swiss franks… the lady wouldn’t let us return them so Steph’s now the proud owner of the nicest designer hair clip you’ll ever find 😂. Baffled yet slightly impressed at the Swiss’s ability to swindle usRead more
