Zurich: Day 4

Scott and I had a free day in Zurich on Monday! We had plans to go to the Lindt factory shop for cheap chocolate, but we were told that they stopped the tours and the tourist information spot at the train station.


Instead, we were steered toward Morkur chocolate shop near the station. When I walked in, it smelled like heaven. They had chocolate in big stacks and sweet displays and someone even making chocolate in the back. Kids in a candy store :)

After we had chosen our chocolates, we stopped nearby in the shopping district for bratwurst and wiener schnitzel. We sat on a window sill and people watched.

Then we went up on Lindenhof, down by Lake Zurich and then to Casa Mia's for pizza. The waiter took about a year to pour my beer, but the head was about three inches thick! This seems to be important to Europeans, the home of no Miller Lite.

Afterward, we tried some hesse maroni, roasted chestnuts that seem to smell much better than they taste.

After that, it was time to head back to the hotel and pack for our trip to Frieburg, Germany.

Here are a bunch of pictures from my favorite day so far.
