Day 7 ….. By the lake….

 * cough just a little bit better….still annoying me

* heat annoying me….breathing not as easy as back home

* up and awake at 2 30 am…can’t sleep

…………….

however…

* weight still 76 kg so I haven’t put on any since leaving last week

* lovely early morning walk along the river bank in Zurich this morning, well yesterday morning now

* first "training" walk since leaving home, last 7 days have got in the way

* spent the afternoon down by the lake with Zurich-ites and tourists, lovely. 

* walked around some more of this beautiful city

and

* slightly over budget for first week, but back home have received an unexpected 540 dollar tax credit from my Kiwisaver…don’t know why, but hey….never look a gift horse in the face!

and

When I walk around a different city where I haven’t been before, I look for the little things which make it different, like the traffic etiquette, how the houses and apartments are organised with access, mail, parking, the green areas, parks, seats along the scenic views. This city is very customer friendly, with its trams very frequently, well positioned stops, the only thing I’ve noticed is that bikes rule, they can appear anywhere….

And the eating out choices are divine. Could only afford Burger King tonite tho…even that was over 20 bucks! Very nice it was too…better than back home. 

Surprisingly, several of the cafes didn’t have EFTPOS, just cash. Strange, because back home everything is plastic money.

OK better try getting some more sleep…Lucern tomorrow….byeeeee

OK
