Off to the land of Movenpick and great skiing!





Our second week landed us in Zurich, which is located close to the German border, in the south. As we came down from Munich, we crossed through Austria and hugged the southern side of Bodensee (Literally meaning, "Bottom Sea"), eventually bringing us to the city famous for author James Joyce, amazing architecture and beautiful views of the Alps on clear days.
We went out for fondue that night, and enjoyed with it a bottle of local Pinot Noir - which was delicious and made us realize that the Swiss dont just do chocolate and cheese right :-)

We wandered around the "Altstadt" (Old City) a little and checked out many of the gothic buildings before it finally got dark.
The next morning we found ourselves at a huge antique market where we could've literally spent all day had our wallets lasted that long! We picked up a few beautiful pieces, some yoghurts for the road and then we were on our way again, enjoying the lovely countryside Switzerland has to offer!
