First weekend in Zürich
My last post wasn’t very inspired, sorry. I was quite tired after my first week settling down here, and also, as you have guessed, the post was just an excuse to show you some pictures of this place. Being tired, I decided I would use Sunday to sleep as much as possible –after all, everything is closed here on Sunday, so there’s nothing to do, right? Right? Well, at 09:00 Sunday an enormous noise woke me up. Church bells tolling everywhere! I didn’t expect this to happen here. But since I had gone to sleep so late, it wasn’t time to wake up yet. So back to sleep, after five minutes of bells. Then, at 12:00, there come the bells again! This can’t be, I thought Switzerland was the country of peace and quiet. Can’t you have a good day’s rest on a Sunday? Well, too bad, time to wake up. Then… I noticed we were having a wonderful weather! So there was something to do this Sunday after all. I went to the lake, and spent a lot of time sunbathing and reading. The weather was as good as at home! I hope we’ll have such a clear sky next weekend.

Hi Roger

(Hi sunnyday
Good to know Zürich is a lovely place, I’m sure you’ll get used to the bells - if people get used to trains and planes you shouldn’t have a problem with bells, right? ;o)
Good to have you back in the blogosphere
Take care

Don’t worry about the bells, people. I think they tolled so much because it was a special religious day. It didn’t happen the next weekend
