Another day, another city and this time it's Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland. We have been to many of Europe's greatest cities in our travels but nothing, nothing, has prepared us for Zurich. It is a beautiful day, and it looks as if nobody works in the city, as the parks along Lake Zurich are absolutely full of people sunning themselves (although it's about 22 degrees, it feels much hotter). We have never seen such opulence as here in Zurich. BMW and Mercedes Benz are like the cars you'd give your kids if they were starting to drive. This place is full of Maserati, Porsche, Ferrari, you name it. Apart from being the most expensive place we've ever visited, it's clear that most people here are very well off.

The road trip from Basel was breathtakingly beautiful, such is the Swiss countryside. I reckon they must cut the grass for hay once a week, it grows so well. And stocking rates seem astronomical. I'm pretty sure our two-acre paddock back home could support an entire dairy of cows. Rather than go on too much, I think I'll let the photos do the talking.
