2016-10-13: Travel to Zurich

    After eating our last breakfast at Hotel Steinbock, we packed up our belongings, then headed outside to wait for the shuttle that would take us into Pontresina. Once at Pontresina, we took the train to Zurich. We chose the spacious luggage car and had the car to ourselves most of the way. The only problem was our luggage kept rolling away from us. We took in the scenery on our last major train ride of the trip. The day was cloudy.

    Once in Zurich, we stowed our luggage in lockers and headed to see the sights. We walked along some streets, checked out some shops, and found a nice river trail where we saw ducks. Lunch and dessert was at Migros. Yum! Hard to make a choice. We then shopped some more at Migros and Coop. Then we retrieved our luggage and headed on the crowded train to our hotel, Holiday Inn Express. Just our luck! There is an Aldi’s right next to the hotel so we can stock up on more tea and chocolate. They even have that really good cherry tea that we love and other flavors of the same brand! Now, to just fit it all in our suitcases. Kristin did buy another small suitcase just for her chocolate.
