Swish in Swiss

I BIN on a train in Zurich

Zurich-Old Town

The drive from Austria to Switzerland was pretty smooth and stress free.  We were briefly questioned at the border but that was it.  It’s funny how everything seems to change once you cross, the road signs and the state of the roads, the architecture and the layout of a village.  I know it’s a different country, but weird that only a few metres back things were quite different!

We eventually found Peach and Monika’s place.  We’d forgotton to ask what apartment block was theirs and what floor they were on.  They invited us into their gorgeous spacious apartment with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms and low and behold a T.V and wi fi that we could use in the comfort of their lounge room!  It was luxury being able to stay in a friend’s house as opposed to a caravan/mobile home.  Amelia and Noah were in their element surrounded by little Yannik’s toys!  He has a bunk bed with a slide – awesome!!

The Whole Crew-Above Zurich

Yannik & Noah-there must be something in the water

We all bus’d and trained it to Zurich on Wednesday where we took a tram up the mountain and walked up a massive tower for a view of the whole city and beyond (where Maciek dared me to ‘plank’.  “after you” I said).  The kids loved travelling about on trains and of course Noah found the bin!  We stopped for lunch (the kind of lunch that you gobble up really fast to get out of there before the kids have a meltdown!) and wandered the old town before stopping again for coffee and cake (those cakes are divine!)
