Swiss bells at airport

 

Started the trip at 4:45 am Friday with a cab ride to the airport, landed in Zurich at 7:45 am (all times local!) after getting a good view of the alps. After grabbing bag, headed over to the main terminal, got my sim card from Swisscom, popped it in and got connected. Then, downstairs to grab the SwissPass and off I went - headed to the hotel to drop the bulk of the bags, and was in the main core by 11. Spent the next hours walking the central core, and people watching.

View from the church spire

Did climb the Grossmunster Church spire for a view - and by the time I headed back down the steps, there was a choir practice that had started, so sat and listened for a while. Violins and voices in an acousticly great space. Lots of people out for their Saturday afternoon shop/stroll. Weather was blue sky and warm - and having left rain, was well appreciated. Headed back to the hotel and officially checked in at about 4. Ended up trying out the bend with an impromptu nap. Had picked up salami, cheese and roll at grocery for lunch, so finished that off as dinner.
