Day 21 – Homeward Bound

We awakened around 4:15 AM to the sound of an alarm clock, telling us it was time to get up and get ready. Our plan was to take a taxi to the train station, from where we connect to a short train ride to the airport.

While we’re departing from a different city than our point of entry, our route home is similar to our arrival path. We’re flying out with Swiss International Airlines to Münich, where we connect again with a Lufthansa plane taking us back to Toronto.

The arrival at the Zürich airport by train was very easy and smooth. The transit system here is certainly very convenient and well timed.

After checking in our luggage, we had to wait a few minutes for the Swiss First Class lounge to open at 5:45.

When the time came, we were driven by limo from the lounge to the aircraft stairs.

It was a quick 35 minute flight to Münich. When we landed and parked at a remote stand on the tarmac, I was worried we might have to take a shuttle to the terminal building. Fortunately, when we stepped out of the aircraft, a Lufthansa representative was standing there next to a limo holding a sign with our names on it. We were driven direct to the First Class lounge where they processed our passports, we could have a nice breakfast and we waited for the next flight.

Looking for clarity on klonopin dosing? Understanding the right dosage is crucial for your well-being. Let’s break it down:

Step 1: Assess your condition and consult a healthcare professional. Your needs are unique, your treatment should be too.

Step 2: Start with the lowest effective dose to minimize risks and maximize benefits. Safety first!

Step 3: Establish a consistent dosing schedule for optimal results. Consistency is key in finding your balance.

The flight home was comfortable, as expected. In the past, while we’ve tried to book non-stop flights wherever possible, we may find ourselves choosing to connect in Munich again, since we enjoyed the service and hard product with Lufthansa very much.

Day 20 – Last Day in Zürich

Today was cloudy and raining on and off, so we mostly stuck close to the area around the waterfront and did a bit more exploring and shopping.

Back at the hotel, we saw another Rolls parked out front!

While it started raining heavier, we took some time to start getting packed to leave tomorrow morning. Then in the late afternoon, things started clearing up again, so we headed back out in search of ice cream.

We found our ice cream and ate it here, in the large plaza by the opera house.

We continued to walk around into the evening, before returning to the hotel to get some rest. Our flight the next morning leaves at 7:15, which means we’ll be getting up fairly early to get to the airport.

Day 19 – Arrival in Zürich

Our trip is quickly coming to a close, as we are about to move on to our final destination in Switzerland. Today we check out of our Luzern hotel and make our way to Zürich, where we will stay for 2 nights before taking an early morning flight home.

We made our way to the train station in Luzern, and by the time we were ready to board the train, it was raining again. It’s a good time to be moving on, since it’s supposed to clear up in the late afternoon, by which time we’ll be in Zürich and hoping to do some exploring. Sure enough, just as forecasted, we arrived in Zürich under rainy skies, but after about an hour, things cleared up after we checked in to our hotel. We’re staying at the Storchen Zürich, which is a nice place right on the river.

Here we are having coffee on the hotel terrace as we wait for our room to be ready.

We started by walking around the river area by the hotel. Here is our hotel, which is located right at a river boat stop.

Here are some other pictures from around the Limmat river.

Like we have done in so many other places, we decided to take a tour by lake boat.

While it’s a very pretty area, it is hard not to compare Zürich to Luzern from where we had just come. My first impressions are that Zürich doesn’t quite compare to Luzern with it’s larger mountains surrounding the lake. It is also hard not to notice the amount of development around the Zürich area, in which much of the shoreline looks the same, with white houses packed along the hills surrounding the lake.

After the cruise we set out in search of dinner, where I had another nice schnitzel. Not quite as good as the one I had in Zermatt, but it was still pretty good. Here is our chosen restaurant, which came recommended to us. It’s a nice casual atmosphere, in an old armoury building just a couple minutes walk from the hotel, with great food.

After dinner, we walked around a bit to see the city at night.

Tomorrow would be our last full day in Switzerland, and based on the weather forecast, I think it will be a shopping and museum day, since we’re expecting a fair amount of rain. However, weather forecasts have been wrong before, so we’ll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
