This morning I got up, got ready, got on the bus, then on the train and headed off to Zurich. I was very nervous about heading out on my own I was delaying walking out the door and Ami knew it. She was like just get out of here already haha.
The ride was not so bad I was on the train about an hour and a half and I just read my book :). Thankfully Ami's friend Natasha agreed to meet me there so I had some company!!
Since I got there before her I just shopped around the train station. There were stores and restaurants, a gym and tanning lol. But what I was really looking for was a bathroom. Finally I asked someone and followed their directions to a separate room that you could only get in with money. One side looked like showers and showed a sign for 2 franks or 2 dollars and the other side for 1. I thought this is crazy I have to pay to go to the bathroom, so I figure it had to be the 1 dollars side. So I put in my money and went threw to find the urinals. Some how I missed one side is for men and the other for women :/ Lucky a worker was standing there and told me to put in another dollar and go to the other side lol. I was like Oh my gosh.. haha with a line of men behind me. It was priceless.
Natasha and I could not have had a better day to walk the city, which I had prayed for.. thank you God. Zurich was beautiful!! It is the largest city in Switzerland. The 3rd wealthiest in Europe and 9th most expensive in the world.
First thing we set out for coffee. Natasha found this cute cafe and we sat and had our coffee and pastries. We talked and people watched. Men were putting up Christmas lights and there were a group of men singing. We think that they were a religious group but of coarse we could not understand them. They started talking to people walking by. This one lady in her 40s looked totally drunk and she was definitely mocking them out. She was laughing and folding her hands in prayer the middle of the street looking up to heaven. Then she got up and stood with them and pretended to talk to the people as well. It was kinda sad to see.
After our coffee we shopped!!! Lots of stores!! It was fun. I actually did not buy a thing but Natasha found everything she was looking for and more. When it started to get dark we grabbed Starbucks!! and head towards the water. The buildings were all lite up on the water like a postcard.. so pretty. We sat down by the swans and just enjoyed the view. While we were talking some man introduced himself and asked us for drinks haha got to love that.
We ended the evening walking up and down the most expensive street in Zurich like the Rodeo Drive of California. We look at diamonds and more things I couldnt afford but it was fun and I manged to get myself home in one piece.. the end.
