Hi, Reader! You've heard us say that Zermatt always delights us, that Lucerne is our favorite Swiss city, and that we live in the unendingly gorgeous Jungfrau Region. But a lot of you will travel via Zรผrich. And we have a lot to say about this city too.โด๏ธ We loved riding a boat on the river because we were sitting eye level with the water. What a unique perspective! ๐ There are some stellar viewpoints from skyscrapers, towers, mountains, and terraces all around the city. ๐ฉ We won't forget the time our infant son had a massive blow-out in one of our favorite restaurants. ๐ซ I think we stopped trying to count how many samples of free chocolate were included in our Lindt Home of Chocolate tour, but we happily ate them all! ๐ฒ Or that time we were walking in a waterfront park and a bicycle hit Brett. (Don't worry, everyone was okay!) ๐ฐ Would you believe us if we said we explored ancient ruins under the city?! (Including really, really old toilets.) ๐ฝ Speaking of toilets, I also wish we counted how many free public toilets we used. They're everywhere and awfully convenient! |
