After a wonderful train ride through Switzerland we finally made our way to Zurich...found a taxi and off to our hotel we went....it was a beautiful day...the sun was out and the temperature was to die for..
Our hotel was beautiful and sat on the River Limmat...below is the view from our room....
I know...it's gorgeous!
Below is another view from our room looking down the river.
Once we got settled it was time to set out to the streets to see what this place had to offer....we stayed close by as we had already had a long day with our travels and such.
We decided to go across the river from our hotel to what was called Old Town....apparently that's the place to visit and with it being so close it sounded like a good idea.
another view from our hotel room
and here is a view of our hotel while we were crossing over the river
and a front view of our hotel from across the river....and if you look at the left side the first widow above the long balcony with floors, that is our room
so we walked around...it was pretty and wonderful views...it was mainly shops and then places to eat..we scoped out where we thought we might want to eat and have a drink or if we wanted to just go back to the room....we were becoming fond of those outdoors places to wine and dine.
walking through the streets
and this cow sat on the balcony that belonged to a hotel...I thought it was cute
while walking around we came across what we believe to be a bachlorette party...we couldn't really figure it out cause the language...it almost looked like they were doing dares but we didn't know for sure...but whatever it was they were loud and looked to be having fun
a lovely side street
and great views
after walking around we decided we would try dinner and wine at a cute outdoor place...
it was cute and the waitress was friendly and knew English....something we found hard to find in Switzerland.
We opt to order our own instead of sharing as we were unsure by the menu as to what to order....Lonnie ordered this burger which was pretty but hard to eat as a hamburger but I think she said it was good...it was a safe choice...
and then I just ordered a vegetable plate...it seemed the safest thing to order...in the picture it looks a little weird....that looks like chicken on top but it's not...it was good and it was actually a good choice to order as well
and the wine wasn't bad either
as you can see we picked a place across from the cow...we also had some street vendors that put on a show...it was a busy night as it was Saturday night...
Notice in the picture below I have a light cardigan on...was just a tad nippy where you needed your arms covered up...felt wonderful...a big difference from the weather in Italy.
Once dinner was over we decided to go back to our room and enjoy the rest of the evening from there and plan our day out for tomorrow as we didn't really have any plans...
We sat our table and chairs to look out to the river and we enjoyed a bottle of Bellini that Lonnie had bought from our time in Venice ...we opened the door and let the cool air and sounds of night in and it enjoyed it all wearing a jammies.
Goodnight Zurich...for tomorrow we travel again...it's day trippin' time in Switzerland as there really isn't much to see in Zurich and it's expensive.
