Switzerland: Zurich & Lucerne

Not too long ago I went to Switzerland with my friends Amy, Sally, and Chandler. It was honestly kind of a spur of the moment thing for Chandler and I as the girls had planned this already. So like true adventurers anyway we packed up and went on. Our train over took about 6 hours from Florence. It went by fairly fast with books, sleep, and several loud card games.


Quiet church in Zürich. Picturesque if you will....


Our hostel was located on a busy street with a lot of bars and raucous activities. By the time we got back though, it was pretty late and we were tired so we went straight to sleep. The next day we set out into Zürich in the morning. We walked around for a while and went down some back allies as usual, but we finally saw some bikes and rented them for FREE! yesss. We got around town a lot faster after that and saw more of the city. Zurich has a lot of watch and chocolate shops, we are in Switzerland after all.




My bud and I Chandler in Zürich.


We rode around for a couple of hours experiencing the city and finally stopped for a bratwurst and Sprite lunch. It was awesome. Zürich also had a ridiculous festival going on that weekend which I think I figured out happened every weekend. It was huge and every one came out to strut their stuff. I wish some place like Austin did that every weekend. We set out again at night for the nightlife of Zurich and talked to some locals about the hot spots. They were pretty cute. We spent the rest of the night dancing away along with some pork ribs, German beer, and thousands of Swiss folk. Lucerne followed the next day.



Another sweet church pic.


Lucerne is a smaller Swiss town west I believe of Zürich. Our hostel was set right on the lake with like 10 others, but ours was the coolest hostel I've ever seen or heard of. If you ever go to Lucerne let me know and I'll give you the hook up. We again walked around Lucerne to see the sights and at night ended up going to a Thai food place to eat. The brats were getting to me and the food was cheap. Whatever.



Part of the huge festival in Zürich. This and played classical European stuff. Legit.


We ended up then going to a sweet Jazz bar with good beer that instead of playing jazz actually had a Swiss national team soccer game on. It was fun getting rowdy with the locals over soccer so it sufficed for the night. Those were the majority of our journeys in Switzerland and it was overall a big blast. I heard the adventure sports there are amazing as well so if your thinking about going, definitely go!


Next up is some Venice stuff. Good day.
