Zurich Recap

So I have completely neglected my blog over the past two weeks and I apologize!

Quick Recap of Zurich:
- Clean, quiet, peaceful city.
- They have a trolly car that goes up a hill for only three minutes to commute the university students from the main street to the university up on a hill. I was very excited by this trolly car and made Gavin take me on it.
- Very pretty river and lakeside.
- Grossmunster church has very beautiful, but very "different" stained glass windows. No huge jesuses here... but cool art pieces.
- Gavin was a wonderful tour guide and host :) I will return the favour in July.
- Sprungli chocolate = AMAZING. Even better? these things: Luxemburgerli
- Gavin cooked me a wonderful dinner each night. Saved money AND was delicious.
- Went on an amazing hike up a steeeeeep hill to get a wonderful view of the city, Swiss countryside and far off Alps. Complete with celebratory half-melted ice-cream and beer at the top.
- Party scene in Zurich = dub-step club and student bar, not as wild as London, but not bad either... the walk home however, was VERY enjoyable.
- Naps on the grass in a park by the lake = a wonderful idea
-....and ASH CLOUD STRIKES BACK!!! A small eruption canceled my flight (mine was the ONLY one to London from Zurich that was canceled -- what are the chances!?) so I ended up crashing at Gavin's another night and heading home in the morning on Monday. Apparently London doesn't want me to return? Okay by me, I'll travel some more!

So there you have it... Three days in Zurich in a nutshell. It was great, I got a patch, and can check another country off the list.
