This morning we left Geneva and I was glad to 
go – a very bustling busy city, too many people, cars, bikes, buses, trams etc. It was a nightmare for pedestrians. Terry is very sick with suspected food poisoning – shouldn't have had that seafood pizza. It is not often Terry completely loses his appetite but this has laid him low. We got train to Zermatt, which was a pleasant almost four hour trip with some lovely countryside scenery on the way. There were not so many cows today, a lot of vineyards with the vines grown up the steep mountainsides on terraces. We can see the Alps but the weather is not “picture postcard”. We're staying at Zermatt in the Swiss Alps at the Walliserhof Hotel, which is really lovely – much better than the hotel in Geneva and about half the price.
When we arrived at the hotel, Terry rested while I walked around. It is a pretty little village in the mountains. There are no cars here, only small trolley like vehicles, like covered golf buggies, b
ut you still have to watch your step with them. We are close to the Matterhorn which should be seen but the weather is not kind to sightseers at the moment. Tomorrow we go on sightseeing train tour so hope weather improves.
