So i have a video log for this leg of the trip but i'm going to have to post that later since my computer is being stupid... SO the flights went pretty well. We RAN through the airport in Chicago to make our connection to go to Zurich and had to leave the airport to get back into the international terminal, which was stupid stupid stupid. And our flight wasnt leaving for an extra hour that we didn't plan on.
So after all the rush we got in to Swiss Air - our flight was 8 hours and we ended up getting a yummy dinner at night and breakfast in the morning. You can see the Alps from the air and i got awesome pictures of them in the clouds. We landed and got our Zuricards to get on the trains and buses for free, then had to take a cab to our hotel after heather forgot which one it was :P ... our room is cute and little and right next to a train station so we showered since we smelled from being on the plane for so long then took off to the city.
The highlights without being too detailed were we visited a few old churches like Grossemunster and St. Peter's (oldest church in Zurich), walked the canal, walked through Nideldorf (shopping district thats full of twisting alleys and cute little shops that we had coffee in), and went to the art museum. We also ate at Blindekuh for dinner and took a bus through the city to get there. It's a restaurant set in a converted church thats run by the blind so we ate in TOTAL darkness. The point is to experience what it would be like to be blind. We had to feel where our food was on our plates with our hands then once u find it u have to try to stab it with your fork and then get it into your mouth and it's a challenge and a half. Heather had lamb and i had fish and it was delicious. We had a blast and shared a dessert together that ended in heather covered in chocolate mousse and our fingers dipped into everythinggggg. Plus our over tired-ness had us hallucinating in the dark :P
I'm going to post pictures in another post so sit tight an i'll have the videos up as soon as i can....
Byeeeeee
Sounds like you are off for an amazing adventure. I will try to creep you regularly while you are away.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip and I promise to catch up with you guys when you are back!!!
Sounds like a blast...I know exactly where you are in the sky compliments of the stalker on the 4th floor who has been tracking your flight and pacing back and forth mumbling. I figure by noon, she'll be rocking herself in a corner somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSerious though, what a cool experience - bask in it.
