Train: 6:50 Frankfurt - Zurich
Zurich was a laid back, and picturesque town. To be honest, we spent most of the time simply walking around and seeing the town. In one area near our hotel, there were a big outdoor market. It was difficult to know if it was set up for Christmas, or always there, but it seemed like they were always there. We also stopped and grabbed some gyros for lunch.
Zurich itself is set up along a river and lake, so we walked along the river to get a view of the lake, and the Alps beyond that. I also needed to find a pair of sunglasses as I hadn't even thought to bring mine since we hadn't seen the sun for a while in Prague. However, Switzerland had sunny blue skies.
Towards the late afternoon, Dad and Ruth went back to the hotel for a rest, so Jace and I continued to walk around, then we saw ice skating listed in brochure of things to do. So we went ice skating at a big outdoor rink. Neither one of us fell down once!
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was close to 10, so we called it a night.
If you look closely, you can see the Alps in the background.
Zurich had some nice churches
This was a huge tree decorated all in Swarovski crystals
I'm a pro!
