Well a couple of weekends ago I ventured out of Neuchatel and headed for the big city of Zurich. Hugo (guy from Champreveyres (where I live) he’s from Holand) thought it would be a nice day out and as I agreed we went on our big adventure. Having purchased a 
½ price discount train card it didn’t cost as much of a fortune as it might have.
Zurich is a really lovely old city with the main attraction being all the wonderful old architecture. It also has a lot of wonderful old churchs and Chathedrals which we went inside most of them. There is just something special about being inside the beautiful old buildings! At the Grossmanster church you are able to climb up one of the towers which gives you
a fantastic view out over the city and harbour. I don’t think it was as far to climb as the Christchurch cathedral but it was just as narrow and we managed to time it well on the way up that we passed some people coming down, one guy wasn’t exactly small and I was thankful to be beside the rail not against the middle. Got some great photos from part way up and the top, unfortunately even the beautiful country of Switzerland people still like to graffiti everywhere which tarnishes the lovely self shot I took. Getting better at those, still need a longer arm though. 
Went to the Museum of Switzerland also which wasn’t the most exciting Museum I have been to perhaps Te Papa is more impressive than I ever gave it credit for!! All and all it was a great day and riding the trains is Switzerland is lovely. As Sinnae and Sam may have noticed from the writing on their postcards it is still not completely smooth.
