Swiss Post #11: A Cozy Couple Explores
Towards the end of our trip we actually had part of a day to just wander around the city, just the two of us. All the rain and snow were gone and as you can see we were left with a bright blue sky and temps in the low 50′s. We visited the bridge we had our picture taken after we had gotten engaged New Years 2000 and wanted to recreate the picture – this is not exactly it, but close enough!
Looking from above at the part of the city called the Niederdorf and a tip of one of several bridges that allow you to cross the Limmat River.
Birds eye view.
Something so relaxing about wandering around an old city…..
Zürich’s Grossmünster is a 12th-century Romanesque ex-cathedral with a fascinating history of Catholic saints and Protestant preaching. According to legend, the Grossmünster was founded by Charlemagne after his horse bowed down on the spot marking the graves of three early Christian martyrs.
What would a European park be without old men playing something!
Marc takes me down a tiny “gasse” to find his old favorite bar “The Philosoph” (how appropriate!)
Inside the Philosoph, I have a tea and Marc his absolute favorite Amaro Averna, both warming!
A beautiful olive oil store right on the water.
This clock says it’s time to head home and get ready for whatever is in store for tonight!
