Picnicking with the Alps

It's our last day of vacation and the sun is finally out! We decided to have a picnic by Lake Zürich to enjoy the nice weather.

We picked up two local cheeses, a fresh demi-baguette, an olive medley, and a half-bottle of white wine (made just outside Zürich) from Globus. And we grabbed a Bratwurst from the Sternen Grill (read my next post to learn more).

Lake Zürich might be one of the prettiest places on the planet. From our spot we could see the small villages along the east and west sides, and the giant Alps to the southern end. The waterfront was full of other travelers an locals doing as we were.

In the water, within reach, were dozens of swans. Did you know they hiss? Well they do, and apparently they do not like small dogs. I'm a little scared of them now.

I couldn't think of a more relaxing way to spend part of our last day in Zürich.
