The ceiling was disappointing because they have turned off the lights to protect it so you just can't see it. Seems a little strange, but there you go.

Luckily the coop supermarket is close by and have had picnics for lunch each day and one night even got chicken and salad, a bargain at 7CHF(swiss francs) total compared to the 42 CHF I spent on dinner for my last night and it only consisted of a small salad and a main course.
