Classy, Clean Zurich...

My hotel... oh MY! This is where my "classy" journey starts! Pure luxury... and just minutes from the airport... that's a rare treat, as we usually have van rides that are 20-30 minutes (or more) away. (click to enlarge photos)


While we waited for our rooms they served us a sparkling juice blend in "fluted" glasses in this lovely sitting area... what a nice touch!
My room... have I told you before that there's NOTHING quite like the feeling of "falling into bed" after a very long night flight? Talk about life's little pleasures?!! Ha! It's the best!!

The view from my room... rain was probable... but didn't arrive until late evening... Yippeee!! from this sightseeing gal!!

The train station... a VERY busy place! Whew! A nice way to get around, but I was glad that I was with another crew member that knew their way around!

I was surprised to discover that the main language spoken here is German (Swiss German)... it's because it is so close to the German border... as compared to Geneva, which is near France, and French (or Swiss French) is commonly spoken. Oh... but they DO have Swiss Army Knives everywhere, and that just seemed "right"... ha!

I had a "bratwurst" here for lunch (my Mom's favorite! ) with this lovely water view...

Am I really here? In Zurich, Switzerland? It still amazes me that I have been blessed with such a great job!

The clock towers are a lovely sight here... one of the largest in Europe is located here too...Old Town was absolutely breathtaking! The colors... the shops... and especially the restaurant fronts were such a treat!

I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse of Zurich... it was known in the 70's as the "world's cleanest city" and I'm not surprised... so classy and pretty... I look forward to going back!
