First Day of Easter Holiday
woke up earlier than normal school days
why??
cos we are going out !!!!
where??
Zermatt
if you didn't still get it,
know this chocolate called Toblerone??
saw the moutain in the logo?
YES !! That's our final destination of the day
Matterhorn
the mountain in the Alps
we have to go to Zermatt to reach there
and it took us about two and half hours journey
from Montreux to Zermatt
so here we go
on the train to Zermatt

and our little bobo is caught sleeping already

on the road in Zermatt

one of the pictures of the day that i like
the small river is so crystal clear

nice view there
and we took cable car
to our first destination
Schwarzsee Paradise
it's a lake located below Matterhorn
at an elevation of 2583m
they said that the view is nice
but anyway
we didn't get out of the cable car in the end
cos we got too comfortable with our cable car
and we are just not ready yet for the cold
by the way,
almost 90-95% of the people that go to Zermatt
are for skiing purpose
see the ski board outside the cable car??
yah that can be seen outside almost all cable cars going up the mountain
in the cable car
that's the slope for ski

and during our journey inside the cable car
this is the scenery that we saw surrounding us:
mountains full of snow

and it was quite steep too
when u look down from the cable car
sometimes when the fog is heavy
we can't even see the rope of the cable car
quite scary
not really recommended for those who have fear of heights
anyway, i really very pei4 fu2
those people who constructed all these infrasructures
cos i still can't figure out how they manage to do it

random photo in the cable car

and we found a self service restaurant
halfway through the journey to Matterhorn
and that's my lunch

jn with her lunch
same as mine

sh with her lunch

a picture while waiting for the connecting cable car
have to wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from the bright reflection of snow !!!
and i brought extra clothes too

can u see something there??
i think it somehow resembles the Toblerone logo
or it is the one?

and we took this cable car to go up to Matterhorn

inside the big cable car
that can be filled up to 100 people !!!
(according to the label written inside the cable car)

and there we are,
Record of Achievement of the Day!!!
up on Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
3883 meters above sea level
the wind is extremely strong
and the it snowed heavily
or should i said it was a snow storm or something like that??
and can't really see anything
tried to take pictures of the surrounding
but it was just white everywhere around us

and we left after staying for about 5-10 minutes up there
so that basically summarize my day today
it's almost 1 30am now
and i still can't sleep yet
have to make good use of my holiday
hehe.
