Five Disappointments
1- Zermatt. The town, not the surroundings, which are beautiful, ^ermatt is a town in the Alps very close to the Matterhorn, and has therefore been a tourist mecca for more than a century. For a mere you can hire a guide to take you to the top of the Matterhorn. Plus the train to the town is private, and charges big bucks even with a Eurail pass. To top it all off, there is a thriving McDonald’s in town.
2. Versailles. Didn’t live up to expectations, but then the expectations are pretty high. Still worth going to see, though. The gardens are much better than the interiors. Worst food for the money I’ve ever eaten at the local snack bar, so bring lunch and spend most of your time outdoors. At this symbol of French majesty and grandeur, you are charged half a buck to use the bathroom.
