A rainy day in Zurich

We had a great dinner last night in Zurich, celebrating 40 years of marriage. We found a traditional Swiss Restaurant that served wonderful traditional Swiss food, veal and venison. It's apparently deer season and so it was on the menu. Zurich has a wonderful 'old town' with lots of great restaurants - like most European cities really. It's not hard to find what you're looking for in menus. 



Today was overcast with rain threatening. 
We took a 90 minute cruise on Lake Zurich which did a circuit down the lake, stopping along the way at small wharves. Not many on board but the rain held off. Back on shore we headed for a number of churches including the Grossmunster and the Fraumunster. (Big abbey and woman's abbey) Quite different architecture to what we had seen and I think both has been converted to Protestant places of worship following the reformation. The Fraumunster has stained glass by Marc Chagall!



We made a few stops for coffee and lunch and tomorrow we head off for Prague and the last leg of our journey.
