Swiss Road Trip: Day 2-Zürich (Altstadt)


Zürich is a great city. It was different than I expected. I know it's a very wealthy city but it's not as flashy as I thought it would be. It felt very down-to-earth. My host, Serge, was awesome! I felt totally at home there. We cooked some great food, drank some great coffee and listened to some great music. It was an excellent time and I'll definitely be stopping back during my travels. Now for the photos…

Very clever benches. You can flip them depending on which view you want.





Bananas!


There were a lot of antique book stores in town. I love the artwork in these books.



Means "too rich" in German. A play on the spelling of the city's name, of course.




The room I stayed in at Serge's place (his living room)

Swiss Francs have got to be the best-looking currency around


Tee hee


All in all, a lovely stay! More photos ahead.
