ZURICH

ZURICH: We had a much more relaxing atmosphere in Switzerland. Our hotel was conveniently located in front of a tram stop that took us directly downtown Zurich. The gals at the front desk of the hotel were super good at directing us to our next destination. We found Zurich very laid back compared to London. It was also very clean and everyone very helpful and friendly. Here are our Top 20 Memories of Zurich. 1. Tram rides/Novotel stop Lindberghplatz. 2. Bus rides/tours. 3. Cable car ride. 4. Fondue, Bread, Little Bag of Potatoes! 5. Swiss Chocolate. 6.Bellinis 7. More Cheese. 8. Louie and Louise 9. Ferry ride across Lake Zurich. 10. Posting on FB. 11. Chagall windows at Fraumunster. 12. Tina Turner's home. 13. Cold rain and warm hats. 14. Bridges 15. Shopping on Banhoffstrasse! 16. Nice people. 17. LADY GAGA! 18. Old Town Zurich. 19. Pablo Picasso Exhibit at the Arthouse "Kunsthaus" (60 paintings/drawings) and 20. Celebrating Brenda's 40th Birthday at Cantinetta Aninori, a lovely restaurant off Banhoffstrasse.

Fraumunster Church.

Of all the church spires that pierce Zürich’s skyline, the slender, blue spire of Fraumünster (Minster of Our Lady) is the most graceful. And it is best known for housing magnificent stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. WE couldn't take photos inside so I found this on the Internet.


University of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
Albert Einstein was its most renowned professor.

We traveled across Lake Zurich by Ferry. Darn misty rain!







Swiss Chimneys! Hey, I liked them!


Like I mentioned before, these are just some of the pictures. Brenda has many more that I hope to attain and add to the blog. We really did have some great adventures and fun times traveling together. Priceless. Big thanks to Tim for being such a great dad and supporting me on this trip! I missed him and the kids and am happy to be home safe and sound. :)
