Day 28 Zermatt – St. Moritz:

Today we leave Zermatt and it is with a little sadness because we love this place. The Matterhorn was amazing but the whole place is just fantastic and we will definitely be coming back. We start off by packing the bags and heading down for breaky. By 9:30 where out of there and taking the short walk to the train station to board the Glacier Express. The Glacier Express was one of the main things that the holiday was designed around so this is a big day. With the Glacier Express you can take on board your own food and drink so we have taken a couple of things on for the kids and a roll each for Kris and me. We get going for our 8 hour train ride at 10 o’clock and I’m like a kid in a lolly shop and the views are as expected, spectacular. We get into it full swing and the waiters come down and ask us if we want to order the 3 course lunch at 46CHF ($53) each. We have rolls to eat but we think, were on the Glacier Express, why the hell not so we go the whole hog and order wine as well. The waiters set the table up with the table cloths and silverware and we ate like royalty. This proves to be a fantastic train ride, one that we will never forget. We get to St. Moritz and throw the rolls in the bin. We get to the hotel and head out for a wander and soon realise that this place has shut up shop for the day, it’s like a frig’n ghost town. St. Moritz is one of those places the rich and famous holiday full of shops like Prada and Gucci set on a lake with snow capped mountains at the door step. We think the place is a bit of a bore so we grab some dinner and head straight to bed. The train ride today was a massive highlight but the final destination didn’t impress. Tomorrow we head to Venice, let’s hope that has a bigger impact.
