Switzerland - Zürich

Trip: 31st May 2013

Ambitious me decides to explore Zürich on my own before meeting my friend in Lucerne :) The weather wasn't really good that day so the photos are like meh.



Zürich Hauptbahnhof, which is indeed quite grand and pretty.




In the Altstadt where there are many Swiss flags around. So pretty! :)



So I walked to St. Peters church - a little different from the churches I came across so far because there's a clock there.



At the Rathaus bridge 




This is the famous Fraumunster church. The glass window inside the church is really beautiful, but too bad no photography is allowed. Spent quite some time sitting inside to admire them :)




One of the statues at Quai-brücke.



And I continued walking down Quai-brücke.. And omg so many swans!!! So pretty!!




And what amused me was the way that swans sleep/rest. Their necks seem to be really strong!




Typical asian tried to take photo of herself and the scenery at Quai-brücke in the rain. One hand armed with camera, the other hand armed with umbrella to cover the camera. And was trying to ignore the passerby's judging :X




Found a Lulu statue!!! Too bad there wasn't any place for me to self-timer a photograph of me and Lulu!




View of the Altstadt from Quai-brücke.


After walking for 6 hours, tired me went to bunk in at my friend's place for the night :) Zürich is beautiful, but would be even better if the weather is good.
