I’ve got myself a veggie potato roulade. So inside here these should be filled with something oh yeah yeah. So, it’s like filled there’s like a little potato roll.
And then fill with vegetables like a mashed potato, but, it’s a bit denser right now we are in the matter War Museum or sermon now let me go over a little bit of the history up to Matterhorn answer Mack for, you because, you might not know much. I mean, it’s not Disneyland guys now the Matterhorn as, you can see is a very special mountain it is been always regarded by the locals as something almost superstitious about it something special something mystical because, it’s just. So different than all the surrounding mountains.
So nobody really attempted to summit it on the 14th of July in 1865 it was eventually summited by a group of seven including London born Edward Whymper now here’s where the story gets tragic on the descent down all seven guys were secured via one rope remember, this is the 1800s. So they’re all attached to one rope. And then one of the guys in the bottom slits.
So suddenly all seven of them were hanging together on this one rope now one of the local guides there were two local guides with them they had to make an horrible executive decision to try. And save as many of the group members as possible. And we tied the rope around a rock.
And that eventually split the rope. And four of the members fell to their death it brought international media speculation. And because of that tragedy a lot of people started flocking to Zermatt.
And that is how the town is built up. And grew course now it is. I mean any kind of mountain climbing is still dangerous, but there are a lot of safe ways to climb.
And now it is absolutely an amazing place guys it is nuts outside right now there are some crazy thunderstorms rolling through the mountains at the moment. And it is just only. So we are gonna just kind of chill the hotel this rules this was know-how you’re mad rush this morning to try.

And then all of this side is Switzerland. So yeah. So you’re ready for this you’re looking pretty good in that jumpsuit first, you go first first first would be a beautiful slow motion of, you.
