Zurich, Switzerland Part 3

Our last day in Zurich we went out to Uetilberg to check out the views

On the walk to the viewpoint, there is part of the solar system trail. The planets are to scale compared to the sun (above) and the distance is to scale as well

Mercury is a tiny dot in the blue

Venus is slightly larger

And the last planet we saw on the trail - Earth

Some fun lights

And the viewing platform

Benches at the overlook

It was beautiful! Still clouds covering the mountains in the distance, but it was still really gorgeous

The viewpoint from the viewing platform (the viewing platform cost a euro)

And the view from the viewpoint on the ground

A weird zoo(?) thing by the train station

And back to Zurich for lunch

But first - the Polybahn! It was closed the day prior so we couldn't ride it then when we rode the other two

This takes you up to the university

And finally lunch at Pot au Vert which we saw when we were wandering. This is the only place that was disappointing foodwise in Zurich. It was fine, but nothing exciting. We had a plate of steamed veggies with no seasoning

And tofu something which was okay, but I think I make better food than this. So not my favorite

Then it was off to the train station

And a train to Luzerne. Zuirch was great and I would definitely go back again if only to eat all the tasty food! It is very expensive, but oh I loved it there.

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Day 11 - Kerid Crater & Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 11 our first stop was Kerid Crater. This was nice, but nothing special. You have to pay to get in, you can walk around the top and then down to the water, but if you are going to be seeing other craters then this is an easy one to skip. Nice, but nothing special.

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install ...
