Switzerland - Zurich

Our plan for this year was finally changed from Norway to Switzerland.



An actual trip which is quite different from the plan.

Oh and I arrive at Zurich in the morning, deposit our bags at the train station locker. Then take off to explore the city while it is still raining.


Grossmunster or the Great Minster.



Fraumunster or the Women's Minster.
The history of this Minster goes back to 853, when King Ludwig the German made his daughter Hildegard the abbess of a convent here.



St. Peters Kirche
The most distinctive feature of the Church of St Peter is its large clockface. With a diameter of 8.7 m, it is the largest in Europe.



Judging from the outside decoration, this restaurant might offer a good steak.



Labor day in Zurich (wearing "Red Shirts" but without violence)


We then go back to the train station to meet with my friend, Sasi, who lives in a town half an hour by train from Zurich.

Until another member of the gang, Nok, arrives, we then head to Bienne where we plan to stay and explore in that area.
