Chapter 12 "Zurich"
Zurich is a pretty chilling place to be. For all those footie fans out there, it's the home to FIFA (yep, the place where Italy bought the 2006 world cup.) Not a huge city, but it has a lot of really nice places. I spent most of my days lying in a park admiring the swiss alps in the background. A huge university overlooks the city a top a hill (hefty walk to the top also.) Once again, like most cities, there is a river that runs through it. If you go down to the harbourfront, you can join the locals on a hot summers day and bridge jump into the water. Definately recommend that! Zurich is also the best place to buy a swiss army knife. Very cheap ($20) and they are always usefull.
Overall, Zurich is definately worth a stop. A train through the swiss alps is worth a trip in itself(tip to tip $80). Definately one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, no matter how expensive.
