Mountainous Thunderstorm

Enjoyed another slightly lazy morning. With a cup of coffee in hand, we sat in the sunshine on our very large private patio. Decided to explore a bit of Zermatt before catch the train (50 minutes) to St Niklaus to pick it up our running race packages.

We arrived a bit earlier than expected, and enjoyed a walk around St Niklaus before registration opened. In the time it took us to get the packages, the sun disappeared and the sky opened up into a deluge. We managed to get back to catch the train without getting too wet.

A full-on thundershower was in full swing by the time we arrived back in Zermatt. We took refuge under awnings and in various stores till the rain subsided enough to get back to our accommodation. The rain persisted for the rest of the evening. We settled in and enjoyed an authentic cheese fondue in our suite with bread, apple, swiss salami, carrot and rosted potatoes!Read more
