MERRY CHRISTMAS! Here we are on another adventure! We are travelling in Europe, down the Rhine River for the Christmas holidays! Today, Christmas Eve, we are in Zurich! Looking out the window from our Continental Hotel - who should we see? Santa himself!
What fun to look out at 4 AM and see Santa! Yes, 4 AM - we arrived early yesterday, walked the town and then fell into bed for welcome sleep, after a long, but uneventful night on Air Canada across the pond! We were tired!
Zurich is a beautiful city and we headed straight out to see the largest indoor Christmas market and the spectacular Swaroski Christmas tree! It is over 15 m high and covered in over 500 individual crystals and, we are told, 500 pounds of fake snow (well...it IS indoors!)
What also caught my eye was this lovely giant windmill - reminiscent of the beautifully carved wooden ones you have at Christmas with small candles to make them turn.
We are doing a walking tour of Zurich later this morning and then a tour of Rhine Falls this afternoon. More later!
