Day 1 - Zurich








Hello friends!

Getting to Zurich was a bit of an adventure. Our plane, full of a very large group of teenagers and many toddlers, had to turn around on the runway because the plane was off balance. About an hour later, we were successfully in the air. Overall, it was the smoothest plane ride we've ever been on and we probably would have slept soundly if it wasn't for the young boy sitting behind us kicking the life out of our kidneys.

The Zurich airport is beautifully clean. We went through customs without any problems, and then caught a train to the main train station to purchase our tickets for the overnight train. We had a marvelous time exploring Zurich, and accomplished our three main goals: 1) To see some beautiful art (the Marc Chagall stained windows in the Fraumunster were breathtaking), 2) To have some Swiss cheese fondue, and 3) To try fresh Swiss Chocolate (definitely worth the trip).

Can't wait to reach Croatia tomorrow...and we are definitely looking forward to some sleep!
