Zurich... our very first stop... which makes it special...
we arrived on a sunday... thus the famous Banhofstrasse was an abandoned elegant boulevard. However, this allows us to see the quiet beauty of Zurich.
We took a 4h cruise on Zurichsee, and P promptly took the chance to snooze under the sunny skies ;p
explored the two churches of Zurich upon return... climbed up to the top of Grossmunster for an ariel view of Zurich...walked through the old town and discovered the peaceful spot of Lindenhof...an old park overlooking the river, complete of giant chess sets and swings...
went back to the bustling street of our hostel to eat dinner at Macdonald's before going back to the hostel. Came out at night after showering for a look at Zurich's nightsky...
woke up at 5am the next day to catch the 730 train to Munich... and had the river to ourselves as we crossed the bridge at dawn... quiet and calm and pink-tinged... and that remains my memory of Zurich... elegant and calm.. and lightly rosy-tinged...
