So I will keep this short because I’m having to write this on my phone. After a short overnight stay at Bolligen (where I lived for a short while when I was 10) it was on to Zurich. Zurich is a beautiful city and the friend I stayed with was great company - we walked all around the city talking about what everything. He is an architect so we went to a building by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier and I got the ‘architectural’ insights which made it all the better. I was only in Zurich for a weekend but it was a good weekend with lots of exploring. I went to the main art gallery which was huge with some excellent paintings and also visited the Grossmunster with stunning contemporary stained glass windows and the Fraumunster with windows created by Chagall.
Over the weekend we talked about so many things and it was interesting to see how the Swiss live. I am struck how advanced the Swiss are on environmental issues and how much better they are at managing their resources. Their infrastructure is also excellent - it would be very easy to live here without a car and live more simply. My time in Zurich was a nice way to end my time in Switzerland as I head to Croatia…
