The train goes through the Alps and it's just spectacular. Zurich was beautiful. We spent one day walking through the city and the other day walking a path in the mountains overlooking the city.

We went to a place that specialized in fondue. It was probably pretty touristy, but it was fun and tasty. That's where I discovered that I liked riesling when it wasn't overly sweet.

I don't recall what hotel where we stayed, but I had a meal there that was absurdly memorable for no good reason. It was just a simply prepared white fish filet, maybe flounder, potatoes, a green salad without too many ingredients, and a glass of dry white wine, but every bite of it was perfectly prepared. I can't explain it.

One of the nicest, most efficient airports I have ever passed through. Very clean, great signage, everything works.

Onward!

The escalator to the train is at the middle of every concourse. If you're not on the concourse you want, go to the middle and go down to the train, use the signs to figure out which direction you want to take the train, and get on!

There are moving sidewalks down there that let you bypass the train, but the trains come often. I don't think it's worth it unless the trains are down, and I've seen that maybe once in the decades I've used that airport.

I’ve spent remarkably little time there considering I used to work for a Swiss bank.

Coincidence?
