Swiss Shit
Wed 5 December 2007 Anthony
I live in Germany and one of my favorite places to go is Zermatt. I disagree about them being snobbish. Its a cool little town and the people were really freindly that I ran into there. Yeah its a little pricey but well worth the experience. Also make sure you climb to the cross and drink 1867( swiis shit). Have fun!!!
