Poor weather but that did not stop us.
Spent the morning walking along Bahnhofstrasse , the shopping street of Zurich. Lined by trees on one side and the other with wonderful shops ( clothes, shoes, watches, jewelry and oh so yummy chocolate, love the smell). Keen sandals were on sale, could not believe the price, don't even need them ( wearing a pair at present) but wanted to buy a pair anyway( did not have them in my size ).
Stopped in the churches along the way, Fraumunster, Grossmunster, St. Peter's and Wasserkirche. They are so different to the ones in Italy and France. The stained glass is more modern along with stark walls, minimal paintings and statues.
Cruised on the Lake Zurich, all very pretty . Cannot believe but I snoozed in the last half an hour, blaming it on the heavy lunch and calming effect of the water.
Sprungli, heaven, chocolate/pastry cafe. Ate a variety of their Luxemburgerli exquisite macaroons. The instruction leaflet said to eat it as soon a possible , we followed it to the tee and had them all then and there. Will return.
Walked to Lindenhof , along the way passed Weinplatz. As per our guide book we were supposed to see a fountain , had a hard time finding it. Didn't spend too much time in either place as it was raining. Not the showers that we have encountered so far rather a constant drizzle which showed no sign of stopping.
Done for the day.
