These pictures are from our first excursion to downtown Zurich -- we took the bus to Oerlikon, a tram to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) and then walked down Bahnhofstrasse to the lake. Along the way we encountered an enormous toy store (Elliot's keen sense of "fun things to buy" detected it) that had every toy imaginable, including a working Formula 1 toy race track.
After a crowded walk down Bahnhoffstrasse, it was nice to sit and watch the boats on the lake (and of course have a bratwurst and brot as well)
. The lake is huge and beautiful. We haven't yet gone out on a boat, but will soon (perhaps with our next visitors, whomever they may be!). The blurry picture is of Isaac drinking from a public water spout -- they are ALL OVER Zurich and Switzerland and the water is wonderful for drinking -- no need for bottled water (a small, but important savings in this high cost region).
