Getting to Zurich

It rained most of the way into Zurich.  And while 30 miles in the rain was not my most memorable cycle, it was still fun to spend time with Connor.  We had one more 'summit' to cross, the Albis pass, a relative easy one at 2500 feet versus the Gotthard pass.  The view from there was great.  Lake Zurich is in the background.

We also had a great time getting to Zurich.  Since Connor's brakes were a little iffy, we decided to take the ferry from Flüelen to Lucern.  The ferry took three hours, which gave us time to have lunch overlooking the lake, and reminisce a little about the trip.

It's a little hard to describe the beauty of the Swiss Lake District.  We immediately compared it in our minds to Lago Maggiore, but it did not have the bustle of all the Italian tourists that Lago Maggiore did.  Even though it was a Sunday, the lake was relatively quiet.

Well that is about the end, as tomorrow is the flight back.  Tonight is dinner in Zurich with an old friend, Simon, from Basel.  The trip was a great one!
