| We are staying at the Hotel
Walliserhof in Zermatt. The staff is very helpful and the food
is great. Lisa and I think this is a wonderful hotel. From
Frommer's Switzerland
Originally a Valasian farmhouse, this hotel is one of the
most successful conversions in town. It enjoys much German
patronage, ever since the German newspaper Bunte named
it "Swiss hotel of the year" a few years back. Renovations
have made it worthy of a four-star government rating. In the
center of town, it is easy to spot with it's red shutters and
balconies. It offers a large terrace out front, and inside
you'll find stone fireplaces, thick walls, masonry columns,
and flagstone floors. The midsize carpeted bedrooms have
wooden furniture and good beds, plus neat bathrooms.

| We slept in until 8:15 a.m. and had a
nice breakfast. We both had cereal and tea, and Lisa found some
of the best apricot yogurt in the world. We don't have much
planned for the day, so we walk around town, view the beautiful
scenery and enjoy each other's company.

| We finally found a place that had
high speed Internet access, and I was able to upload my photos. We
skipped lunch, because we knew we had a huge dinner to eat. For
dinner, we ate in the hotel. Lisa had the pork, and I had the
lamb. We both think that the previous night was better, but this
was pretty darn good. A very good day. |
