Zürich

We arrived in Zürich on our Airbus A380–800. For the first time, in my experience, our aircraft had a camera which let you see out the front window to see what the pilots would be seeing.

The landing was a little rough, you can hear in the background things hitting the ground like water bottles which were not properly secured. Amusingly, a second or so after we landed a dialogue box popped up on the screen asking how the flight was!

Zürich airport is very efficient, there was an underground train that took you from one part of the terminal to another.

Then we reached our hotel, which looked a little unprepossessing on the outside but is very nice inside.

After a much needed sleep, we took a 10 minute walk to get to the local and main railway station.

They have an extensive tram network, with a lot of the trams being a lot longer than the Melbourne ones.

In the afternoon we took a bus tour of the city and surrounds, starting with Lake Zürich.

Then a cable car to the top of a nearby hill (Felsenegg).

Then some other interesting parts of the city.
