The Matterhorn is RIGHT where that thickest patch of grey fog is.  Nope, can't see a thing!

Day #11, 037: On our rail journey from Lucerne to Zermatt, Mr. M & I quickly learned that the miraculous efficiency of the Swiss transportation system meant we had to be equally competent in order to make our transfers. Trains are timed such that you have about 5 minutes before you miss the connection. We almost missed […]
