I cannot believe we are almost at the end of our month's trip away.  Time does indeed fly and I am trying to be like my dad and live life to the fullest, and of course spend my children's inheritance.  I feel it is my way of stopping any fights between them.
We arrived into zurich with no problem and then headed off to the train, although we discovered we were not at a tram stop, just a rest stop.  The lovely tram driver told us to get on his empty tram and he drove us around to the correct place.  How lucky were we.  Once on the correct tram we found the place straight away and were given the tour by our host's friend.  What a delightful little place and so welcoming.  Our host will be back on the day we leave.
Off to explore Zurich.  We have been surprised as I always thought of Zurich as being just a big city but it is lovely and easy to get around.  spent the rest of the day wandering and then bought dinner and took it back so we could sit on our balcony and drink wine as we ate.  Life is hard I tell you.
Woke to a dreadful day, cold, wet, miserable.  Waited until the rain stopped and braved the cold and ended up heading to the zoo.  Not the best zoo in the world as we are used to some amazing ones but still good.  Not many tourist I think, so not much English. Saw penguins being fed whilst an informative talk, in german was going on.  We just oohing and aahing at the cuties.  Felt at home when we saw the frily neck lizard and John got to "play" with a small boa constrictor, this made him happy.
Afte rthe zoo we thought we might as well go and see Lake Zurich and ended up doing a 1 1/2 hour round trip on their ferry.  Very nice and the price was right.
Home again and we have one more day as we fly out tomorrow night.
