Zermatt 2 Rest Day

Strolled around Zermatt, watched stage 4 of the tour and caught up on bits and pieces.
There is a cluster of very old buildings in the centre of Zermatt - all wooden, some 15th-16th century and obviously protected to the irritation of developers, I'd say.
The cemetery is lined with the graves of young men, particularly young englishmen, who died in their attempt on the Matterhorn, the slightly bigger Weisshorn or one of the other very big surrounding peaks.
After another bratwurst from the Metzgerei barbeque we had a drink at a bar in the main drag. The small beer and glass of rosè cost about AU$10 each, but we were served by an Italian reincarnation on Ned Kelly.Meer informatie
