Our　trip　in　Switzerland

Part1

August 25
We checked in the counter of the Air France which we used for the first time. We could get the seat of aisle we wanted. We were very glad that the lady of Air France registered JAL mileage for us smoothly and treated us very kindly. We had a very good impression.
The crews are almost French, it's very natural and not surprised. After we took off the Narita Airport, we had the meal　(^o^). There are two meals, namely Japanese and French. I took French. Smoked salmon salad, beef ,carrot, butter noodle and orange cake. I drank white wine.
I enjoyed meal. Before we landed on the Paris Airport, we also had chicken curry. During our flight, the people who felt hungry or thirsty went galley and drank soft drink or ate a cup ramen. We could change air, so we felt better.
After 12 hours flight, we reached the Paris Airport and changed flight to Zurich. We moved the terminal by a bus. It seems to be a large airport.
There are a lot of duty free shops and fancy atmosphere in the Paris Airport　(^○^).

While we were waiting at the lobby of airport, we were so surprised that the car looks like a subway train went up suddenly. It was a bus which carried people to an airplane, so people took it and it moved to an airplane. We directly got into the airplane. It is very convenient we thought.

We had a sandwich in the airplane from Paris to Zurich. It was so delicious that we wanted to have another one. About one hour flight, we reached the Zurich Airport. It was 8:30PM. Zurich Airport is connected to the train station, so it's convenient to go to the center of city. But it was late evening, so we took a taxi to go to the hotel. The taxi driver was not a good English speaker and we were a little afraid, but we safely arrived at the hotel. The taxi fare was 44SF.
The hotel we stayed looked like a business hotel in front of the Zurich central station. It is only 3minites walk to the Zurich central station. The room was simple ,but it was clean. After taking bath, we went to bed earlier than usual. We could not sleep well and awaked every hour. Further my noise was so bad and guzu-guzu. Our schedule of the next morning was to take 8:04 train bound for Zermatt.

We couldn't sleep well, but we got up early morning and managed to prepare our baggage. There is a convenient service in Switzerland, namely gepack. We can have our baggage sent to any station to be sent. The hotel where we would stay is located in the mountain, so it's hard to carry there?? Toshi proposed that we would send our baggage to Zermatt station and it would be kept there for one day. We packed two baggage. Before we had breakfast, Toshi said to Tomo how many minutes it would take from here to the station and then he left hotel and didn't returned soon. Tomo was worried about him. Twenty minutes later he returned in good heart. There is a station in a few minutes walk and he found the location of gepack. We expected the breakfast, because the hotel information we got served buffet. We could choose many food such as any kinds of breads, ham, fruit, yogurt and juice etc, so we were satisfied with buffet breakfast. (^o^)
We went to the gepack of Zurich station in order to send our baggage to Zermatt. We bought a sandwich and water at the Zurich station for lunch and took 8:04 train bound for Brig. Before we took the train, a young lady told us," Are there any problem? "
Maybe we were wandering near the platform and seemed to have a problem.(^_^;)　She advised us the track. We took the train for Brig and then went to a restaurant car and drank coffee.

At Brig, we changed the trains and took the train for Zermatt. It took about one hour.
