Zurich

We took a 6 hour train ride to Zurich and then another train to the Airport where my Mom could take the shuttle to her hotel. We got there and saw Mom off after one final good-bye. We hope she is going to enjoy her week long bus tour of Switzerland just as much as we have enjoyed the last 2 weeks.

Amber and I went back to he train station to book our tickets to Venice! Normally the reservation fee for a trip is about 9 euro each person which is about $15. For reasons that we still haven't figured out, the reservation to get out of here was about 3 times as much! It is was it is though, to leave we needed to pay about $90.

Amber and I had booked our hotel, the previous night, again the cheapest we could find was in the $120 range. so be warned, don't come to Switzerland unless you have lots of money.

On our way to he hotel, we saw a great number of rainbow flags. We checked out the city guide and sure enough, the final day of their pride month festival is today. We just hope that people aren't going to be too roudy later.

We got to our hotel and dropped our bags off and headed for dinner. The chespest thing around was a pizza for about $25, so a split that. Just as we finished eating it started to rain, but cleared up shortly. So we headed back out, even though we were feeling super lazy.

We toured around the 'old town' just having fun and taking random pictures. We really wanted ice cream but we got back to our hotel wihout finding any, so we decided to go 1 block further and low and behold, there was 1 right there. It was $10 well spent. We also saw a sign for a cinema, Amber said "I don't think that hey will be playing any movies in English", but I was curious so we checked out what was playing. We never made in because we very quickly realized that it was a "different type" of cinema, an X rated cinema. Needless to say, we didn't go see a movie that night.

We went back to our room and actualy got to watch some CNN in English. So were happy about that.
