About 'ascot train station'|The Manatee Goes to Royal Ascot








I               think               it's               impossible               not               to               love               Switzerland.

It               has               mountains,               lakes,               cheese,               yodeling,               and               some               of               the               most               picturesque               villages               in               the               world.

A               bit               more               than               a               village,               Zurich               is               the               largest               Swiss               city,               with               a               population               of               nearly               half               a               million.

When               we               visited               last               year,               we               marveled               at               its               combination               of               quiet               Medieval               charm               along               with               a               bustling               world               banking               center.

Zurich               has               almost               zero               unemployment,               and               the               people               there               are               considered               some               of               the               most               affluent               in               Europe.
               How               to               Get               There               
               
               Zurich               Airport               is               just               7               miles               away               from               the               city,               and               convenient               access               is               by               taxi,               bus,               or               rail.

Most               international               airlines               offer               regular               Zurich               service.

It's               also               a               great               central               hub               for               exploring               other               parts               of               Europe.
               Sightseeing               
               
               When               we               first               arrived               in               the               city,               we               had               views               of               the               distant               Alps               from               across               Lake               Zurich.

Not               content               with               that               situation,               we               wanted               to               get               closer.

We               rented               a               car               and               drove               an               hour               to               the               Golden               Pass               near               Lucerne.

There,               we               had               close-up               views               of               the               snow-capped               Jungfrau,               rising               more               than               2               miles               above               us.
               We               were               fortunate               to               be               in               Zurich               for               the               annual               Swiss               National               Day,               celebrated               on               the               first               of               August.

The               festivities               included               native               food               offerings,               folk               music,               street               parades,               native               dances,               and               folklore               lectures.

It's               similar               to               the               July               4th               celebrations               in               the               U.S.

We               enjoyed               several               enjoyable               hours               in               the               old               part               of               town.
               The               history               of               this               city               is               fascinating.

Zurich               was               first               settled               by               the               Romans               in               the               first               century               A.D.

Some               of               the               religious               buildings               from               that               era               still               exist,               as               well               as               beautifully               preserved               Medieval               houses,               cafes,               taverns,               and               cobbled               streets.

In               the               downtown               area,               there               are               contemporary               glass               and               metal               office               buildings,               while               just               around               the               corner               is               an               11th-century               church               and               a               15th-century               tavern.
               Hotel               Ascot               
               Tessinerplatz               9,               Zurich               8002               
               ascot.ch
               We               stayed               in               this               modestly               priced               (for               Switzerland)               small               downtown               Zurich               hotel               for               the               weeknight               rate               of               $165.

It's               just               a               few               steps               from               the               train               station               and               local               tram               stop.

A               short               stroll               took               us               to               downtown               shops,               restaurants,               museums,               and               parks.
               Zeughauskeller               
               Bahnhofstrasse               28a               8001               
               zeughauskeller.ch
               There's               Fijiwa,               a               highly               recommended               Japanese               restaurant               in               the               Hotel               Ascot,               but               we               wanted               to               find               a               genuine               Swiss               cafe               that               served               local               favorites.

We               found               it               at               this               vintage               hometown               beer               hall               with               down-home,               Swiss-themed               meals               priced               from               about               $20.

We               ordered               local               beers,               mustard               potato               salad,               kanonenputzer               sausage,               and               wienerschnitzel.

We               topped               off               dinner               with               homemade               ice               cream               cherry               schnapps               pie.
