Hot Chocolate and Cheese in Zurich.... (Part 1)

This is the first part of the SECOND day.... theres just so many pictures!!!!!!!

It started to snow at first when we were there, but after a few hours it turned into rain... but that NEVER stopped us. It was such different weather than what we're used to in Firenze, so it was actually kinda nice.

middle of the city.

Swatch watch store.

Train and bus station.

Museum in Zurich or Musee Suisee

After the museum, we spotted a starbucks and I just HAD to get hot chocolate (there is none in italy, really). Plus it was a taste of home, which was nice.

Old Town, Zurich.

On of the bridges from one side of old town to the other.

Other side.

Fondue at Swiss Chuchi. VERY yummy.

We found of from Patti that the Swiss make a Swiss wine that isn't really exported. I guess Switzerland makes and distributes a lot of their goods only to their own country. Its kinda cool.

Prepared.

Before....

Dipping....

Eating...

After...

Fondue graveyard. We almost finished all of it.

Next up.... Hot Chocolate and Cheese in Zurich (part 2)......

Switzerland Day 1.

SO! Switzerland was FREAKING BEAUTIFUL.

Technically this post is 2 days. BUT the first day (thurs) we traveled for 14 hours!!!!! This was our travel lineup.... Train to bus to plane to bus to train to train to bus to the house. But it was all worth the travel time and money because it was one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been. Don't get me wrong, i love Firenze. But Switzerland was just a whole different culture. It was probably one of my favorite places in to world(so far, i still have to go to Greece : )) The great part about it was that we were staying in the hills and countryside with lillys mom. This gave us the chance to experience both the country and city (zurich) parts. And both were amazing. So heres some pictures...

This picture was before 14 hours... happy and excited.

This is after.... tired and still excited.

This was the next morning (friday). We walked to the store down her street to get breakfast food. It started to snow when we were walking. It was gorgeous.

This is the house we stayed at. It was Lilly's mom's house, Patti.

Making breakfast.

The house

Views from the window.

Lindt!!!

MMM... chocolate.

We walked down the street from the factory and walked along the lake. The factory and the lake was in Kilchberg, about 10 min outside of Zürich.

This was a park in Wadensvil- the town where we got off the train to get to a bus to go to her house... : )

Snowing again.

In a window, it looks like our guinea pig from years ago!

Next up.... Day 2, Hot chocolate and cheese in Zürich.
