Diamonds and cheese fondue

 "Saturday 30th November 2013"

Zurich glitters.

There are diamonds everywhere.  I asked to change the 50 note into smaller amounts, and was promptly told that that was standard payment note..wtf!  Who carries around a 50 in their wallet.

The Christmas tree in the centre of the station with its swarovski crystals just glittered.  So much wealth.  My camera was still being rubbish, so getting a picture of the tree in it's glory was a bit of a challenge, but with the markets in the station it still looked stunning.

I love small cities, it means you don't need to worry about public transport, and you can in theory walk everywhere, exploring the city with your map.
I did a walking tour, snapping photos as I went...all worked out fine, until my camera died of course.
There was a lovely winter sun on the river creating a wonderful light on the city.

In the evening I indulged in a cheese and tomato fondue.  Delicious, but so so heavy.  I did regret it afterwards.  I felt like I'd consumed an enormous amount.  Cheese and tomatoes in fondue together definitely work...must try at home.

I wish my settings on my camera caught all the Christmas lights better, because the city looked stunning by night...

Lovely relaxing day!
