This time around, the walk was interrupted halfway, as Paul wanted to change the route as he was curious to explore unknown territory! Well, as I'm always up for new adventures, I followed him which was a very good idea (not least because I have no sense of direction, so had I decided to stick to the original route, I probably would have got lost) because we ended up getting these views of Zurich:
 |
| The lake can be seen in the background along with some mountains. |
 |
| Please pay attention to the mountains on the right... |
Paul, however, had a different idea. He knew that we could catch a train from Zurich main station to the mountain on the right, Uetliberg, so suggested we did that. I agreed, if we could have some lunch first. He agreed, if we could go to this Italian place that we both like. So it was very easy to agree to that...
After lunch, we caught the train and once we got to the end station, the following views surrounded us:
 |
| The lake is Lake Zurich. |
 |
| We live somewhere between the two dark areas in the back. |
Stunning! Absolutely stunning!
I shot this video which I think catches the beauty and breathtaking views even better than the pictures:
We went for a walk along various paths and it was quite a workout as some of those paths were absolutely treacherous, so due to my condition, we did a lot of turning back, instead of trying to climb down some ice-covered wooden stairs. There was also a lot of tree-hugging involved, when we had to walk a little bit uphill. Luckily, I look graceful in most situations.
This would be a great place to return to in the spring/summer, so we'll probably take our next visitors there.
Sunday evening, Paul made pancakes. All in all a perfect end to a gorgeous day!
Lots of love,
