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 Zürich. And we have a lot to say about this city too.⛴️ We loved riding a boat on the river because we were sitting eye level with the water. What a unique perspective! 🌆 There are some stellar viewpoints from skyscrapers, towers, mountains, and terraces all around the city. 💩 We won't forget the time our infant son had a massive blow-out in one of our favorite restaurants. 🍫 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! 🚲 Or that time we were walking in a waterfront park and a bicycle hit Brett. (Don't worry, everyone was okay!) 🏰 Would you believe us if we said we explored ancient ruins under the city?! (Including really, really old toilets.) 🚽 Speaking of toilets, I also wish we counted how many free public toilets we used. They're everywhere and awfully convenient! |
