Zurich: Day 2

So we went to sleep at about 8:30 p.m. after a lovely Italian dinner. Scott had lasagna and I had tortellini (we're pretty sure anyway). We woke up at about 7:30. Scott left about 8:30 a.m., I fell back asleep and slept right until 1:30 p.m. BLISS!

Got to video chat with Linda, Will and Charlie at about 8 a.m. Wisconsin time, 3 p.m. here. Did some pilates and checked e-mail, also researched chocolate factories (chocoholic in Switzerland YUM!) and fell asleep again until 4 p.m.

Scott was back after the show, about 5 p.m. Neither of us felt hungry (should have been, only had a Nutty Bar and Craisins since last night).

We took the tram to the Bahnhofstrasse, the downtown area. We strolled up to Lindenhof and enjoyed the view (see picture). We also saw some of the local chaps playing boules, or chess on giant chess boards. Each of the piece is about two feet high (I'll take pictures for tomorrow's post).

Then found Cafe Henrici enjoyed organic salads, beer, coffee dessert. Lovely, cozy place. Waitresses spoke English really well and the music was very relaxing (except when it got too trance).

Scott's antipasto salad had local cheese and grilled vegetables (he liked them but we could only identify two out of the five).

I had a chicken breast salad with what seemed to be a mustard viniagrette. Tasty. Then we shared apple struedel.

Took the train back, scoped out some places to have breakfast and headed back. Another beautiful day in Zurich!
