Zermatt, Switzerland

Hey everyone!
Not a whole lot to say today, except that I am in Zermatt, Switerland. I left Venice early this morning and took three different trains to get to Zermatt. I changed in Milan and then in Visp. I arrived at my hotel with little difficulty. The hotel is so cute! Classic Switzerland. Zermatt is a small town so it is easy to get around. It was very cloudy today so I couldn't see the Matterhorn. The entire town is arranged around the Matterhorn so when you can't see it; there isn't much to do.
However, the town has a certain charm that is hard to describe. It is a classic Swiss town that is full of nice people and gorgeous scenery. After walking around the entire town, I checked out possibilities for hiking and ascending the mountains. I have decided to take the Sunnega train up the mountain and do some hiking from there. It's not super expensive to take that route and I think the scenery will be unmatched. This route has good views of the Matterhorn, which is the reason for going. Tomorrow night, I will take an overnight train to  Avignon, France.
So pumped! Here are some pictures of Zermatt
