Sunday in Zürich .............

The empty streets of Zürich on Sunday August 31st

All is quiet on the Zürich front..... nothing and I mean nothing happens in Zürich on a Sunday. So I naturally went for a boat ride around the lake.... just for a change!

Then I was part of an historic event in Switzerland (so I'm told) - the train stopped......


It did!

Half-way between Wadenswil and Zürich we ran over something (not anything living I hasten to add for the squeamish) it must have been a pole or branch or something like that. Whatever it was it was enough to grind to a halt the grosse Zug.

We sat there and sat there and sat there, for about an hour and a half and it just got hotter and hotter. We finally crawled into Zürich and we all tumbled out breathless for air. No complaints at all, except for the children and babies in our carriage of which there appeared to be about 38.....


Finally staggered back to the flat at 9pm, starving and hot.

Who said nothing happens in Zürich on a Sunday?
