Arrival Zurich

Hi all, well I arrived in Zurich. What a surprisingly great flight. Much to my surprise, had a great meal on board American Airlines..shades of the good old flying days. Got to the airport, and dove into the incredible Swiss transportation system, beautiful new trains and trams ,timing all down to the minute, well marked, and very frequent.
It's a beautiful city, with a swollen river running through the middle of town, picturesque and quite alive. Note many tree lined streets, with flags flying high above.
I stayed the night with a fellow backpacker friend I met in Chile in 2003, Cristian and his wife Cristina were wonderful hosts, it was a fun evening.
I'm off to St. Galen then to Lucern today, will try to get in my first hike tomorrow high above the city.
Yours in travel
Bill
