Zurich - From the bridge


Zurich - From the bridge

Zurich, Switzerland. Its my first time in Switzerland and it didn't start well. In order to not miss yet another Dutch lesson, I decided that the 7am flight was a good idea. This was then cancelled by KLM, so I waited around and arrived in Zurich late for the conference. The airport is really strange, its like a time warp back to the seventies. It looks a bit like a James Bond film.

Things got worse when I decided to walk home from the conference(I find it the best way to see a city), and discovered that my hotel was not 1 block from where I was, but one vertical mile stretched across 1 block.(If only they had gradient lines on street maps), so like a good stubborn male I climbed about three million steps, and finally got my head down for the night.

Zurich isn't bad, it was some strange blend of Germany and France. The Swiss identity still escapes me, but I wasn't there for long.

I'm afraid there's not much to see. Well I'm sure there is, but not in the town centre on a rainy Sunday.
