After arriving back in Milan on Monday, we headed back into Switzerland and to Zermatt, home to one of the world’s most famous peaks, as I’m sure you know! 🇨🇭⛰️
On Wednesday, we took the Gornergrat Railway up to the panoramic viewpoint, giving us some stunning views of the Matterhorn from various different angles! We then hiked down over 1,500 metres back into Zermatt, taking in all the views as we went along.
We were lucky enough to spot one of the resident marmots, as well as a flock of the famous Valais Blacknose sheep, known for their incredibly fluffy coats! 🐑
We’ve now left Switzerland for the last time this summer and made our way back up to Calais, where we’re just about to board our ferry back to Dover.
Last night, we were treated an absolutely incredible sunset over the Channel, which felt like the perfect way to draw our time on the continent to a close.
And just like that, our 12 weeks away are coming to an end… 😢
It’s been the most amazing experience, and honestly, we wish we could’ve gone on forever! (Hopefully one day we will…) From mountains and lakes to cities, beaches, hikes and everything in between, we’ve made some incredible memories that we’ll never forget.
Now for the journey home… and back to reality! ✈️💻
