a Zurich

I wasn't really sure what to expect in Switzerland. The shuttle from Chamonix back to Geneva was great and on time into the airport by around 10.00. After some friendly help from the train ticket man, we got tickets direct from Geneva airport to Zurich Hauptbahnoff for CHF 85 each for the three hour trip. Geneva is French-speaking and Zurich is German-speaking. The train was very fast, smooth and quiet arriving in Zurich about 1.30.
Changed some Euros into Swiss Francs at about 1.30 for each Euro. Lunch at the HB then 2 stop train out to Oerlikon station where we are staying at the SwissOtel. All the Swiss trains run like clock-work funnily enough - even the suburban trains are quiet, smooth and run every few minutes. Return tickets are valid for 24 hours (not just the nominated trip) as well as valid for train, tram and bus.
Took the train into zentrum this morning for a wander through the old town - beautiful old alleys, shops and kirches.
Lots of TV news about problems at Heathrow with cancellations due to snow and ice. The website for British Airways say our flights tomorrow are still good to go (Zurich-Heathrow-New York) so check-in tomorrow will tell us. We can't control it so we'll just wait and see.
Free wifi everywhere in Zurich - fantastic.
