Rapperswill, Switzerland

The first full day I was in Zurich, the weather was picture-perfect so we decided to take a boat trip on Lake Zurich. We got off the boat after almost two hours and explored the small Swiss town of Rapperswill, pictures of which you see below.

Hiking above Zurich

One of my days in Zurich, I decided to take a hike - it was 5.5 kilometers and it was mostly on the ridge of one of the (lower) mountains surrounding Zurich. Susan and I took the cable car to the top, had lunch and then I struck out on my own as she had some errands to run. i saw some beautiful views of Zurich below and also had some wonderful views as I went along. I also came across a tub by the side of the path..one of the more unusual views of the afternoon!
