Quick walking tour of Zurich today, which didn't take long because Zurich isn't a very big city. The weather was positively frigid (in the 60's, is this really July?), so we also walked pretty quickly. The national museum was just a block away from our hotel, but since we arrived just 1/2 hour before it closed, we took a few pix of the outside and moved on.
Through Central Station:
To the tip of Lake Zurich. There was a musical group playing:
It was a bit of a gray day, but there was still some great stuff to look at:
The church above had Chagall stained glass windows inside. You're not supposed to take pictures, but for the sake of my serious journalism, I snuck a pic:
On the way back through Central Station, I found two examples of how expensive this city can be. Take a look at the sign of the juicy burger on the lower left:
Price? $50. I almost wanted to get it just to say that I've had a $50 hamburger, but then reconsidered when I thought how much cheese and bread that could buy.
Second, some of the bathrooms were nice, but at a cost. Two dollars just for me to go to the bathroom and wash my hands:
It's a bit less if you're a guy, apparently they're lower maintenance:
Our feet hurting (again), we turned in. Tomorrow we're taking it easy and doing the bus tour.
