Zoo-y Zurich

It is me again...what a difference having internet access in the hotel lobby makes!

Tonight is our last night in Zurich - so far, so good. We spent yesterday exploring the city, taking a cruise on Lake Zurich (or Zurichsee as they say here), wandering the little back streets behind the Banhofstrasse - the famous shopping street under which lie the vaults of countless swanky Swiss banks. We soaked up the rare sunshine with a couple of beers at a cafe before retreating again to our hotel to watch the curling on TV at the hotel bar. Strangely addictive.

Today we had only one plan - hit the zoo. Fun was had by all and it was followed up by some emergency shopping (cannot find laundromats anywhere), a light dinner and hopefully some cold beers after this.

Tonight the clocks go forward for summer time so it will be an early night before our short trip to Lucerne tomorrow.

Auf Wiedersen.
