I had never thought of travelling to Zurich only to take part in the Street Parade. But back in 2008 some friends wanted me to go there and I did not regret it. It is a real special parade with many friendly people in a very nice city near the Lake Zurich. The central station was also decorated and used for the party, and during night time the big station hall became one of the largest dancing clubs in the world. I can only tell people to go there and enjoy the great ambiance!<br>

... and flight delays. When I got to terminal three, I was pleasantly surprised, it seems most of the glitches had been solved, the checking in process was very smooth. The terminal was immaculate and very clean. There was a delay in departure but eventually we took off.<br><br>I am happy to stated that I arrived safely in Zurich and I cleared customs and immigrations. Most importantly my luggage did not get lost. I went to the arranged meeting point and met the instructor who would be ...

... the enormous bags down the stairs, we started to get a little nervous. We got even more nervous when we started arranging them w/in the van. Once we had put about 3/4 of them in the van, we decided there was absolutely NO way we would fit them all inside. So, we thought we could strap some of them to the top. The main problem w/ this ...

Just a day trip to see this old city. Lots of brightly painted buildings with ornate oriel windows. Most of the windows were carved with scenes or fancy designs, sometimes painted, sometimes both. Lots of fountains and statues. Found a chocolate shop and pigged out.

... laivan oli maara lahtea, varmaan tunnin, mutta laivaa ei vain nakynyt. Ja emme olleet ainoita ihmettelijoita. Hassua. Tahan asti kaikki on ollut juuri niin tasmallista kuin Sveitsista vaitetaankin, mutta ei saantoa ilman poikkeusta... (johtuu kai kisojen erikoisjarjestelyista.) Noh, liikuimme sitten ratikalla. Kavimme Kunsthaussissa katsomassa nayttelyn Shifting Identities. Hyvaa nykytaidetta, paljon videoita, joten aikaa meni paljon ...

... is Finnish and drinking is in her genes). FFW 12 hrs, see a pile of 12 empty wine bottles outside, and you get the picture.... But the next day was far more productive. After sleeping in a little, we headed out to explore Zurich, by tram, boat, and foot. Weather was perfect, and the ...

... too. N and crew did not find the Toy Museum before its closing time, but N was successful in showing that he probably could herd cats if necessary. MJ, K, and E were successful in finding snow pants. They also found long underwear for all the Zürichers (you know, BAKEN) at the same place, which turns out to be a shoe store. At 6 pm we all met at the Raclette ...

... visited in 1986 (if it was good enough for my cousin, it is good enough for me). The dining room was paneled in light wood, very nice...and a very enjoyable evening. Shirley joined us this evening and the three of us had a good time. I can&#8217;t wait for tomorrow and the Glacier Express train trip to St. Moritz. Before I go any further, I have to say again that the scenery has been spectacular! I never get tired of looking at it.
