Zürich
I had one short afternoon to wander around the city of Zürich. It wasn't quite long enough, but it was enough time to enjoy a little bit of the architecture and the life there.
Highlights:
-Walking along Limmat River
-Grossmünster (Church)
-Fraumünster (Church with stained glass windows)
-Lake Zurich
-St Peterskirche (Church with Europe's largest clock faces on its tower)
-Wandering through the narrow streets
-Colorful architecture
-Swiss chocolates
Wandering in Zürich I came across some of these...
Switzerland was wonderful, despite the snow and rain. I will most certainly try to make it back again some day and take advantage of the many outdoor activities available, maybe even multiple trips so that I can experience both the summer and winter activities.
The next stop...Germany.
