After breakfast we walked up to lake Oeschinensee and took some pictures. Warren walked along the shore for two miles to get some good shots. We started down and followed the chairlift down. Took the 5 pm train through the Lotschburg Tunnel after dinner on the loading dock. We got into Goppenstein at dark and cycled down and into Visp. His light went out halfway down and our brakes were earing thin by the time we reached bottom. Took the 7:10 train up to Zermatt. Camped out under the stars in an empty camping spot.

Had lunch at the side of the Hotel National. Warren arrived on the train from Lucarno. I got my bike wheel. We cleaned up our bikes, then bought some food and had a feast up in our room at the youth hostel. He eats his tuna fish with a stamped bike wrench. Without my can opener, he would have opened the can with a screwdriver and his shoe.
