Moments in Zurich

It was an early day start with a full buffet breakfast. I did not rest well the night before due to stupid things. Hate myself for that! Anyway was about to give up joining the girls for a day in town, till they kept nagging. On top of that it is the first time there that missy rain decided to stay home for us! Cool weather, about 20 degrees Celsius,with bright sunshine and nice fresh air!
We took a train from the airport and within 20 minutes we were in Central Zurich.

We then had to take a long walk from central Zurich to get on to our boat for a short day trip.
Along the way, we discover cosy corners and other structures and dogs too! I was smiling seeing the dogs walking on the streets. Zurich is a very dog friendly place. How nice! They can be seen at train stations, on trains, streets and restaurants. Caught a couple of shots.


We did pop in to a few label shops just to satisfy our sense of sight and touch! Finally after a good walk, we came to Zurich Burkliplatz, bought a ticket and waited to get on boat! It was a 2 deck boat with a open small deck up the top. We sat down, enjoyed the mesmerising view of the lake. There were numerous beautiful houses along the lake. Our dream to have a home with this setting! We could see the alps from far, still snow-capped! They took my breath away!




We felt so relaxed at the end of it that our eyes were retiring with a sensational closure of Zurich's lake. Thanks to Ashlee (cool, funny, sweet) and Tomoko(demure, lovely, she can be super fierce, do not push your limits), they were great companions on this trip!
