A bike ride to the city centre started our day. It was very overcast with a slight breeze – not too good. So we walked the Old Town. It is very beautiful but very business orientated with many an American banker talking the talk as he walks by.
Having visited Fraumunster (abbey founded in 853) and seen Giacometti's & Chagall's very diverse stain glass windows, we stumbled onto Europe's largest clock face at St. Peters Kirche and took a steep stroll to Lindenhof. Here there is a panoramic view of the city. It was worth the walk and we rewarded ourself with an apple at the top.
We preferred our lake site to the city though. As it was raining and becoming increasingly windy – we stayed in for the afternoon. Although a lake, it felt like you were on the seaside during a storm. Cabin fever grabbed us, I stuck on the layers (the very good-looking Nick was much braver) and headed off to the waters edge for tea.
Soup was on the menu for dinner and early to bed.
