DAY 6 in Zermatt … beautiful weather continues for a semi-rest day

I had a decent hike this morning, out and back from the Champagne Bar.  Over the past decade, I have had many a good chat with the gal from Cuban, who runs the place, while I sip champagne and gaze at the north face of the Matterhorn. 

In the afternoon, I did a 40 minute walkabout checking out bookstores, as well as paintings-photographs-antique postcards-early mountaineering gear, at the alpine antiquarian shop.  Overall, I logged two hours of easy exercise with 585' of vertical ascent.
