Zurich Travelogue - Part1

Family get together in Zurich and I could not be more happier. This is the first time I am visiting Zurich. It is somewhat similar to other European Countries. Fashion is a bit more relaxed. Jeans are okay but not with Athletic shoes :) People are quite friendly even if you do not talk German.

Very fashionable place with all the designer stores as well as tons of Watch stores. Swatch of course but many others. Watch and Milk Products are in abundance and of great quality too.

Day 1 - I walked to Zurich Lake along Bahnhofstrasse . It was a fun walk. I had some expensive coffee and desert at Sprungli Bakery. Bought a Orange/Vodaphone SIM for my phone. YAY for me. Amma and Appa landed at night.

Day 2 - We went to Lake Zurich again with Amma and Appa, but we took the train all the way. It was nice. There was Saturday Thrift market going on and it was so much fun. We then came back home, had some lunch. Rested for a bit and then we went shopping to a Desi Store called Bharkat and also to the local grocery store called Coop. Got all kind of fruits and veggies.
It started Raining, so we cancelled our evening walk and we stayed home. Great day 2 so far.

Hoping for a good weather tomorrow.

More to come. Here are some pictures...
