Switzerland June 2010

We returned to Switzerland at the beginning of June and had a great time with hubby's sister Sue and her hubby Francis. We did alot of what we usually do, including lunching on the waterfront in beautiful Montreux, sightseeing in the beautiful city of Sion, visiting Evolene and walking up from Thyon 2000 to get amongst the snow and admire the panoramic views. We returned to Zermatt to show Sue and Francis, but the weather wasn't particularly kind. It only spotted a bit of rain though, so we took a lovely walk up the Matterhorn Trail and were rewarded with hot chocolate at a tiny chalet restaurant before we enjoyed a picnic lunch on the way down whilst the sun came out (well almost!). We finally got to the Blue Lake, which we've been meaning to do for ages. The walk is well rewarded, as the lake really is blue! and is very pretty. We also did the St Bernard Pass on my 50th birthday - what a lot of snow! After the pass we spent the afternoon in the Italian city of Aosta before returning, this time through the tunnel. I will never tire of Switzerland. Even though we really only ever do a little bit of it.
