The third and final day in Zurich was the prettiest by far. For the first time since we arrived in Europe, I actually was a little hot -- and believe me, it was a much welcomed change. Who would have thought May would be so cold over here?!
We kicked off our morning with a short uphill tram ride to check out the University of Zurich. The views from above were incredible. Besides the hundreds of students moving around the campus and grabbing lunch from the dining hall, it was hard to believe I was at a college. Definitely a far cry from the University of Florida.
After, we hopped on a different tram that took us as far south as possible. We walked the path back to the hotel, stopping to snap pictures of the flowers and sailboats around one of the popular parks. It seemed like everyone and his mother was out today in Zurich. I think they had all been waiting anxiously for just one solid day of no rain or clouds so they could lay out in the grass, run or boat.
Part way through the walk back to the hotel, we stopped at Cafe Odeon for drinks. The remodeled cafe was the place where Lenin originally developed many of his plans for the Russian Revolution. We ended the day with dinner at Cafe Schlauch, a small restaurant hidden behind a gate and a narrow walkway in one of the cobblestone alleys. The food was great, and the people were so nice -- something we've noticed pretty much everywhere in this city.
It's been real, Zurich. But now it's off to Lucerne in the morning!
