Our days in Zurich

Riding trams was easy and we used the system 3 days. The weather wasn’t always the greatest, temperatures varied from 40 degrees to 55 degrees. Rain off and on for two days. Last full day in Zurich the sun came out and we had blue skies and 55 degrees, a good way to spend our last day,

Rain didn’t stop us!!
Tram system was reliable, clean, and easy to use
FIFA museum was interesting, soccer for you guys that don’t know FIFA !
Papa needs more practice to help Cecilia’s soccer team this spring
Mema says she’s ready to help Cecilia’s team!
The Swiss Army knife store was fun, aka Victorinox company. Still made in Switzerland and produced since 1884
Typical architecture and narrow winding streets. Streets and sidewalks are spotless
Small squares would appear every few blocks
Small quaint squares are every few blocks. Quiet places that often have restaurants, cafes, and small shops
Fountains are everywhere and most have spouts to fill your water bottle. This fountain has a lower bowl used by dogs!
Our intimate group of about 150 people meet for our first group outing and this is the beginning of our boat ride on Lake Zurich.
Patty studies the map and our guide tells us that Tina Turner’s house is out there on the shoreline…. see it there, it’s between the big boat house and the small boat house.
Standing on the bank of the Limmat river, St Peter’s Cathedral is in the distance. Europe’s largest clock face, 28.3 feet in diameter, is on all sides of the tower. The tower was primarily used as a fire look out dating back to 1340.
The Swiss National Museum was a fun and informative 3 hours, even for Patty. She’s more of a two hour museum person.
