Matterhorn

This the Castle Chilion Chateau.  It is the oldest castles to survive destruction from war.
Banquet hall.

Court yard #2
Court hall #3.  The king kids played here.


The  tower has been built taller twice see the  line half way up and the very top.  The top was originally flat and tooth like.
Bath anyone.  See people did keep themselves clean.  This is a twelfth century bath tub. The cloth kept you from splinters.

This was taken from our hotel room.
After two hours we can just see the tip of the Matterhorn.  After a 1 hr ride on a cogwheel train less $75/person.  Oh well.ice flow.
There is our Cog wheel train.  We're on our way to Italy.

Ice flow near the Matterhorn.
We went to the Matterhorn and yes it was covered  in the clouds.  Fortunately the clouds cleared just before we left.  We saw some mountain goats jumping around the cliffs.  They were amazing!

Mom took this picture of a typical Zermatt Hotel.
Drive to Milono.The lakes are in Italy and Southern Switzerland.  This hotel is in Stresa Italy.  Only $393 tax included.
