Zee very nice Zurich

Flying over Europe my first note on the continent was that there were lots and lots of lights. We passed over the bottom tip of England, then across France to the Swiss city of Zurich.

We booked into the hotel and then went - wait for it - walking into the city centre. When we were in North America there was always a problem finding the time (both Mama and Daddy didn't bring a watch) but in Zurich there were three churches all with bell towers and clocks on them. The train station had a clock, there was a digital clock with the temperature just outside our hotel, the trams all had clocks ... yep there were clocks everywhere.

We looked through the old part of the town for a couple of hours. All the streets were cobblestoned and it was tough on the feet!

The town is built around a lake and it was beautiful with plenty of swans and boats. The next day we took a tour boat around the lake and the seagulls seemed to be ready to attack us although Daddy assured me they were following us because of the chances of getting a feed. Still it was cool to have 50 or 60 seagulls trailing the boat. We also caught a train to a nearby mountain with the idea of looking out over Zurich. But that idea was ended by the fact of a huge cloud of fog that descended on the mountain (it seems fog follows us since we experienced it in San Francisco, Vancouver and Mt Rushmore).

MILKSHAKE
I found a milkshake at the Spaghetti Factory restaurant. It was okay - I rated it 4.5 - but there have been so many things happen since then that it is hard to remember everything. I should start writing more down but it's too late now.

One more thing ... The internet is hard to get at a decent price (according to Daddy) and so that's why we have not done more blogging. I will try to catch up in the next few days but then again we are going to Paris.
