26 May - Zurich, Switzerland








We got up early to say goodbye to Nick as he was returning to school after two weeks holiday. Then we packed up our things. Roma gave us food and drink to take with us and Waldemar drove us to Zürich, mainly on the autobahn driving up to 170 kph. It was a very painful parting – we've become so close even in such a short time. We booked into a hotel here in Zürich and then went for a walk around the old town. There are any churches and old buildings. Many of the buildings are now trendy cafes and restaurants, designer clothes and antiques. The European Soccer championships start here soon and the place has gone soccer mad. We had dinner at a small restaurant nearby, watching the “passing parade”. Here they have ash trays on the tables and people of course smoke there. Yuk!
