      Arrival in Zurich

      September 22, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 57 °F

      We took a noon train from St. Moritz , through Chur, to Zurich and arrived around 4 pm.

      Marco, our eTuk Tuk driver/guide, picked us up at the Hotel Adler at 6pm. He introduced us to his constant companion ( a 13 year old Jack Russell Terrier named Max, settled us in, stocked up the vehicle with cold white wine and hot cheese fondue, and off we went on a tour of the city!

      (BTW- Riding with Marco was like hanging out with Martin Short!)      Read more

      Bon Voyage mon ami…mon amour

      July 20, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F

      It was with sadness Boxer bid adieu to Mimi they were going in different directions. Mimi flying west to PDX via London Heathrow and Boxer heading east by southeast to Castelrotto in the South Tyrol.
      That is just the beginning… Mimi will with the help of Nana and Opa (Alice and Joe) watch the ‘littles’ while their parents join me in the Dolomite’s.
      The area we will be hiking is near where the Winter Olympics will be held in 2026. But I progress, the plan was to take the train back to Zurich and early Friday complete the trip to Castelrotto. I did have an opportunity to explore Zurich in the late afternoon. Zurich, like Salzburg has an ‘aldstadt’ with contemporary shops dotting the walkway. After a light meal Boxer was ready to go to bed and dream about all the trekking trails in the Dolomites.

      IGNIV Zürich by Andreas Caminada

      IGNIV Zürich by Andreas Caminada
      Marktgasse 17, Zürich, 8001, Schweiz
      Zwei Michelin Sterne

      Sie hatten ja erst vor zwei Wochen ihren zweiten Stern bekommen. Elian hatte schon länger reserviert und ich durfte einspringen.
      Die einzelnen Gerichte wurden auf für alle auf einem Teller serviert und dann geteilt. Das wirkte schon auch sehr künstlich. Drei Teile auf einem Teller, jeder nimmt sich eins. Na ja.
      Essen war aber sehr gut, sehr fein abgestimmt.
      Der Wein von unseren Schweizer Wein-Experten war perfekt ausgewählt.

      „ Dieses tolle Projekt von Andreas Caminada befindet sich im Hotel "Marktgasse" mitten im historischen Stadtteil rechts der Limmat. Durch die schöne klassische Bar (hier serviert man Ihnen gerne einen Apero) gelangt man in das geschmackvolle Restaurant. Geboten wird ein Menü nach dem Sharing-Prinzip, ergänzt durch Gerichte à la carte. Der talentierte junge Küchenchef Daniel Zeindlhofer bleibt der IGNIV-Linie treu und verbindet sie mit eigenen Ideen. Er kocht komplex, aber zugänglich - eine Küche, die Spass macht! Dazu eine ausgezeichnete Weinauswahl - fragen Sie nach den Weinen aus der Region Zürich im Offenausschank! Das erstklassige Serviceteam um Ines Triebenbacher führt Sie charmant und kompetent durch den Abend. Am Ende dürfen Sie sich noch auf den IGNIV-typischen "Candy Store" freuen!“      Read more

      Day 8

      An afternoon in Zurich

      June 20, 2017 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      1pm- so now time to join our Zurich City Highlights tour booked through Viator with whom I have previously booked tours in South Africa. Bus full of various nationalities and personalities which is almost more interesting than the tour itself I always find! The lady tour guide had a quaint way of speaking English which made us quite giggly at some points. However, a tour around Zurich and more information about various places we had seen in the morning. A short walking tour around the old town and churches but did not go into anywhere, followed by the whole tour bus going onto the ferry and traversing the Lake from the "Gold Coast" to the "Silver Coast" and thence up the cable car at Felsenegg. Could not have had a more beautiful day for this and the views of the Lake were stunning. Had a nice cup of tea in the cafe after a walk through the forest and then down the cable car again and back in the bus to Zurich. Still very hot and although the people at the back of the bus were complaining about the lack of air conditioning, our lady guide told them waspishly that it was much hotter at the front of the bus as there were more windows and that it is so cold here in the winter they should all be glad to see a bit of sun!! Not a bad tour all in all when one has only a short time to see a city. Out for dinner which cost another kidney-glad we are going tomorrow as couldn't afford to stay longer!Read more

      A morning in Zurich

      June 20, 2017 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Decided to take up the offer of breakfast at the hotel as, judging by last night's dinner price, we may have to sell a kidney each to partake of breakfast in the touristy bit of Zurich! Our breakfast window looks out onto the funicular which transports people, especially students, up to the university buildings (famous ex-students are Einstein and Roentgen, he who invented x-rays). So of course it was a must to board the funicular and go up there ourselves straight after breakfast and partake of the views. This was followed by a stroll along the river, through the cobbled streets of the old town before crossing over to the smart shops of Bahnhofstrasse. Lunch was at a branch of Nordsee, actually at Zurich HBF itself, where anything fishy can be had. In our case this was prawn and cucumber crusty rolls but the choice was amazing-anything from grilled fish to scampi or salmon or a fishfinger sandwich.Read more

      Zurich

      June 19, 2017 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

      First train of the day was 09.35 from still sunny Kitzbuhel for us but, by this time, James, Jodie and Dexter had been in the air half an hour, having set off at the unearthly hour of 04.15 ! We seamlessly transferred from Kitzbuhel to Worgl, to Kufstein, to Munich and finally arrived in Zurich at around 17.30. We had coffee and a pastry at Kufstein in a local Backerei and chatted to a pleasant German couple who thought Brexit was a very sad state of affairs. Bit of a rush at Munich with not much time to reacquaint ourselves with this grand station but found the delightful restaurant car on this final train (4and a half hours) and partook of alcoholic light refreshment! Lots of interesting people to survey on the train and an irritating, unsupervised child who was hanging off the red emergency stop handle at one point until Ted took it upon himself to tell the parents! It was bakingly hot on arrival at Zurich-about 30 degrees C at least but it only took us about 5 mins to google map ourselves to the Hotel de Theatre. Budget room but adequate for our needs. Very noisy as next to the main road but couldn't bear to shut the windows-too hot. Went out for a drink by the river and thence pasta meal which was megally expensive but then we are in Switzerland! James and Jodie have put some great photos on Facebook of the triathlon and they are home safe and sound.Read more

      Evo, pa smo pripluli. Najprej kupima dnevno karto za tram. Nato se odpravima ob redi do starega mestnega jedra. Zagledava trgovino Iqos, ter zavijema naravnost noter 🤣. Poskusila sva par cigaretov, ki jih še nisva ter ubavima par stvari za IQOS. Zanimivo! Malo sva utrujena saj nisva dobro spala.
      Nadaljujema pot po ulici ob vodi, ter iščeva postajališče tramvaje. Številka 13 naju zapelje do shooping centra Sihlcity.
      Najprej wc.
      Nato pa nakup torbice za kamero. Tako za okoli pasa ali pa okoli vrata. Kakor mi bo.
      Odštejem 21 €.

      V pritličju centra je orientalska restavracija Yalda. Privoščima si zgodnjo večerjo, saj se od zrezka na ladiji nisva kaj prida nasitila. Popijema še kavo, ter se odpravima dalje v mestni park Lindenhof.      Read more

      Theater in Zürich

      September 24, 2021 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Ich habe auf der Matratze herzlich geschlafen. Während Annegret bei der Arbeit ist, mache ich einen Stadtbummel durch Zürich und genieße das schöne Wetter bei Würstchen und Cafe beim Kiosk Josefswiese. Ein sehr schöner Platz zum Verweilen. Am Abend geht es ins Theater. Der Besuch der alten Dame von Dürrematt wird ausgeführt. Und zwar im selben Theater (Schauspielhaus Pfauen) in der auch die damalige Uraufführung des Stückes statt fand. Anschließend wollten wir noch was trinken gehen, kamen aber überall zu spät an, da die Bars und Cafés wegen Corona schon früher schlossen als gewöhnlich. Auf dem Weg entlang der Limat versuchte ein Jugendlicher die Handtasche von Annegret zu stehlen. Glücklicherweise können wir die Tat vereiteln und den mutmaßlichen Dieb in die Flucht schlagen.Read more

      Zurich

      April 10, 2022 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland. It was founded by the Romans (aka Turicum), but human presence in the area can be traced back to at least 4 millennia earlier. Today, Zurich is a world class financial center, especially well known for banking and insurance.
      The 1st 2 pictures look over Zurich from opposite sides of the river Limmat: from the university terrace and the Lindenhof, respectively. Most noticable in Zurich's skyline are the church steeples, many of which have clocks, which for me is no surprise. The Swiss have a reputation for their timepieces.
      Zurich was one of the 2 Swiss centers of the Protestant Reformation (the other being Geneva, see posts yet to come). The reformer in Zurich was Huldrych Zwingli. He, along with John Calvin in Geneva, are considered to be the founders of Reformed theology. The 4th picture is the Grossmünster where Zwingli preached.
      Zurich is located on one of the larger of the many lakes in Switzerland: Zürichsee. That is the 6th picture.
      The 7th picture is one of Zurich's better known streets: Niederdorf where many restaurants are located.
      Zurich has hundreds of fountains that provide potable water around the city. There is a tradition each spring of filling some of them with flowers to celebrate the end of winter. One of those is the last picture.      Read more

      Hola and welcome to the next well deserved vacation ;-) This time 3 weeks in Vietnam. The team consists of Christi, Nonni and me. We met in Friedrichshafen to take a Flixbus to Zürich. The plan was to stay at a friends house for the night. When we arrived we played a little bit Mariokart on the Nintendo Switch and then we left to have dinner and some beers. We walked through the city center and climbed up a hill where the universities are located. We enjoyed the view and then went back to the flat. Tiredly we fell into the beds to be prepared for the next day with the big flight :-)Read more
