Zurich, Switzerland
That's right folks, I got to see a small, beautiful part of Schweiz . With only a few hours before our continuing flight to Tel Aviv, my friend & I awoke at an ungodly hour of the morning. We scurried to take a quick look at the old town of Zurich. Therefore the ensuing photos.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Only the old & the industrious were out & about. The rest were perhaps awakened by the loud clacking of our carry-on luggage against the gray cobblestones. The rainstorm from the evening before made the streets and the old buildings glisten. It had also cleared the air enough for us to see a bit of the Alps. We saw a good deal in those few hours. We figured out how to send mail, managed the tram system & made it to the airport with an hour to spare. All this with a few Swiss francs still left jingling in our pockets for a few bars of Swiss chocolate...duty free.
It was an adventure & it was wonderful.
