Well heck, if a 106 on a jeep makes this thread, so will my tale.
We landed in Rome the morning of 9/11/2001. Enough said about that. Had a 26 day European bus tour starting Rome, ending Frankfort. Had a three day stop in Zermatt which is a great place, except.... no cars allowed. You get off the bus and are picked up by a horse drawn cart.
I honestly don't know how any of you stationed there would get into Zermatt, but if seeing the Matterhorn is on your bucket list you will have to go to Zermatt. As far as things being closed, even the bank was closed for lunch, 1.5 hours.
