0911 - Zürich

Zürich - the largest city in Switzerland.

Late evening at Zurich Hauptbahnhof



The hostel happened to be damn far away that I was forced to buy a 24hr pass and took the tram.

Accommodations in Switzerland are relatively expensive. The hostel was okay yet I didn't have time to enjoy its facilities. Who is gonna stay at the hostel to 'enjoy' anyway?

The next morning.... a little bit disappointed with the weather

Landesmuseum

Bata is actually quite popular in Switzerland


View from Lindenhof - the so called highest spot of the city





Augustinergasse - a famous street with its beautiful buildings



St. Peter Kirche

Nothing. Just the date that matters.



Fraumünster




along the Rimmat river

Zunfthaus zur Haue


Grossmünster

Newspaper vending machine! Okay at least I've never seen it before.










Flower clock on Burkliplatz



Zurich eye? No idea.







Someone was stacking the stones





The Chinese Garden - a gift from Zürich's partner town, Kunming

Entrance fee required. Why would I pay to see a Chinese 'garden' in Europe?






Plenty of time yet feeling lazy to walk so I took the ferry back to Burkliplatz








Along Bahnofstr - the main shopping street







Lunch+dinner at Niederdorfstr
Local speciality - Kalbsleberli geschnetzelte with Rösti + Salat i.e. diced calves liver in cream sauce with potatoes and salad

not to forget my collection of huge pot all around Zurich. Each and everyone of them has different theme and design painting, displayed in the public and to be auctioned.


Before leaving, I bought myself a souvenir - a Swiss knife. I don't know why.

I love Switzerland. Chocolates. Cheese. Watches. Red and white flag with a cross. Fresh air. Peaceful. Relaxed. Beautiful scenery. Green. Lovely environment. I yearn to spend one whole day lying on the grass doing nothing. This is how we enjoy our life but sadly I had no time.

Switzerland, I'll be back!

Next station: Munchen Hauptbahnhof
