Zurich

(September 22nd, 2013) After a couple weeks of traveling on my own through Europe, Kim met me in Zurich for a mini-vacation. Luckily, she managed to sleep on the flight over, so we were able to spend most of the day exploring the city.


Amongst other things, we were serenaded by a Swiss horn concert:


A vantage of part of old town. The pedestrian streets were very narrow and tightly packed on the hills around Zurich.


Lake Zurich and the Alps in the background, more of old town Zurich in the foreground.


The Jules Verne observatory. The floor beneath the telescope is a nice bar with great views of the city.


And, surprisingly, there were chocolate and pastry shops. Who knew? 


Kim's kryptonite: macaroons.


We ended up making a picnic dessert of one of the Spriingli chocolate cakes:
