Hi everyone,
Well, yesterday i flew in from Stockholm to Zurich without any troubles, and so now i am back on ?Continental? Europe. I spent the day wandering around the city, which surprisingly wasn?t as nice as i had anticipated (it is still nice, don?t get me wrong, but coming from Stockholm my standards are now pretty high!). The weather hasn?t helped though-it is an overcast 10 degrees, which means that i haven?t really been able to see the surroundings of the city all that well (the Alps), which is supposed to be one of the main attractions of the city. It is also amazingly small, which is concerning for me because it has a much higher population than Hobart and yet it seems tiny after coming from Paris, Berlin and the like. Hobart will seem like a ghost town when i come back!!!
I am hoping that tomorrow has better weather to be able to go up Uetliberg, the local mountain which can be climbed by foot as far as i am aware (it is smaller than Mt Wellington). It is supposed to give great views across the city, so if i can get some decent photos i will post them tomorrow!!!
