Our final destination was Bürkliplatz, a dock and the starting spot for tours on Lake Zurich. Once again we were able to take advantage of the transportation benefit of the ZürichCARD for a 30 minute round tip boat ride on Lake Zurich.
We only had a short wait before the boat arrived. We decided to sit outside to get a good view of the lake and surroundings.
When the Weather is Hot ...
Zurich is acity of water par excellence, where bathing is a cult. Everyone finds a place to cool down with a summer swim in the river or lake. We saw many people enjoying the various outdoor pools during our boat trip.
Some of those same water spots turn to nightclubs when the sun goes down. (click on images to enlarge).
Back to the HotelAfter taking a few photos of the statue of Ganymede and Zeus (represented as an eagle) at Bürkliplatz, on the shore of Zürichsee (Lake Zürich), we headed back to our hotel. This time we decided to take the S-Bahn S7 train back to Movenpick Hotel. Both the tram and train tracks are about two blocks from the hotel. The train was much faster than the tram since there were fewer stops.
Since it was after 7:30 PM, it was now time to call it a day. We'd been on the go since landing around 7:15 AM. When traveling overseas, it is a good idea to stay active and then go to bed in the evening so that you start to get accustomed to the time change.
