Shanadeen (Originally posted 16/07/07):
Once we got to Zurich, my feet were so sore, that I was happy to take the trolley everywhere. Chris like it too, wanting to get the best value out of the Zurich Card. We did well, having gotten a free ride around Lake Zurich where I took a hefty nap in the serene blue glassiness. Erik and Chris chatted away about Chris' program and random topics about electronics, pirating software, new software....
The food service was consistently expert and the food was very cleanly prepared but expensive. Chris had his B-day the last day we were together, and he wanted Sushi/tappenyaki. There was less showmanship in the presentation of food, but it was tasty nonetheless.
We also had some wild goose chases with trying to go to museums that were closed, and a park that didn't exist where Erik thought it was. The Swiss observe Sunday as a closed shop day, and Chris said it was the same in Munich.
The explorations around the city mostly involved hunts for ice cream late at night and ringing the bell unexpectedly in the trolleys. We wanted to go see some waterfalls, but it cost 40 euro/person so this ended our hopes to explore outside the city. Zurich city center is one big shopping center, and we got used to eating at roadside stands for 6 euro a pop.
Well, enough reminiscing. I'm going to turn of my country music (yes, I am that homesick now that I'll listen to it) and go to bed :-)
