zurich...a little something for everyone

Ive never found shopping fun, at all. Back home i try to avoid malls or any shopping centers. And it was something i didnt expect to do in europe.
Saturday morning in zurich we woke up really early. I was excited because i was in a new city, and didnt know what it had to offer. For the second time on this trip, i was in a city that i seriously never heard of.
We headed out and walked around for a while. Nothing really too impressive. We just saw some little shops but everything was closed. After a while shops started opening up and they started shopping. For the people that love shopping, zurich is a great place.
Chris was looking at a city guide and found a hike we could do for free. I love hiking, and it would be cool to say that i went on a hike in the alps. I think they were the alps. Not sure, still need to look that up.
We went on this hike that had some kind of aligment with the planets. Every once in a while we would come across a planet on the path. The distances between the planets we proportional with the actual distance between the planets in the solar system. It took us several hours to finish but it was fun.
When we got back to the city we met up with the others. They were heading back to the hotel. We stayed in town for a while longer and walked around.
The real fun started later that night ;) Zurich was fun for all of us. There was shopping for the shoppers, and hiking for the hikers.
