The view from our room.
Once Kurt and I finally settled into our Zurich Hostel, it was early evening and we decided we should do some wandering around the city. First, we stopped at the cafe downstairs and chatted with one of the guys that runs the hostel. We had a beer and explained our trip while he told us about his visit to Manhattan once. Luckily, most people in Zurich spoke English, so communication wasn't too difficult.
We set off to do some exploring around the city center and eventually find some dinner. We walked along the Bahnhofstrasse, one of the main arteries running through the city center. There are tons of stores and businesses along the route. It runs parallel to the large river which dumps into Lake Zurich.

By the time we made it to the lake, a storm was rolling in and we decided to find shelter and food quickly. Of course that was easier said than done in a city we knew nothing about. We were looking for something not-touristy and affordable but were in the city center along the river, right around the train station. It was hard to come by.
Jet lag was beginning to set in, so we headed back to the hostel to hit the sack and prepare for Day 3!
i cant decide if that bench is really tall or if your legs are just short.... hmmmmm
