ZURICH 8-10 April

Stand aside Madi .... Justin Beiber has a new fan - a 41 year old mum of 4!!  Madi and I went to his concert at the stadium here in Zurich with several thousand other screaming fans.  I was converted!  He really knew how to entertain his audience and apart from continual squealing and one fan who fainted, it was an incredible concert I have to admit.  I drew the line however at getting a t-shirt (probably because they didn't have my size and Madi was giving me dirty looks!!)

Today we caught the train one stop into the centre of Zurich and had breakfast.  Corky is converted, it is now a city high on his favourites list.  The history, the scenery, the shops were all stunning.  We wandered through beautiful alleyways with cobblestones and Swiss flags hanging everywhere.  They are very patriotic.  We found the lake and and a fabulous beer garden with views down the lake and to the snow capped Alps in the far distance.  From here we watched the trams, cyclists and fast cars and boats go by while we enjoyed a beer in the sunshine.  Every fast looking car was a ferrari to Harry (pronounced 'rari'), though Corky was excited to view his favourite car the Aston Martin about every 10 minutes.  I was excited to have a shop in Zara, one of my favourite European stores.  We wandered around and had ice cream by the lake and then due to Harry's wishes, we caught a tram back to the train station and then back to the hotel for a swim then ready to go out for dinner.
