11.25 train from Milan - first stop Stresa located on Lake Maggiore. Intend to visit that area next week. At Domodossola we had to get off the train and onto buses to Iselle (working on tracks) then onto a train for Brig. Fortunately sharing a compartment with a couple of Frenchmen who spoke good English who explained what was happening. From Iselle we are in Switzerland. Changed trains in Brig to a cog capable narrow gauge train to Zermatt. There were several stops along the way - St Niklaus was one. In Zermatt, changed some Euros to Swiss Francs and hopped taxi to the Jagerhof Hotel. Upgraded to an apartment. Tough that. The sun was in a bad place to get good photos of the Matterhorn but in case it is cloudy tomorrow here are a few and a few sights around Zermatt, a lovely, tidy and flower covered hamlet.
