Day 39 - Zurich (Switzerland) - Ahoy my hearties!

JUST SIT RIGHT BACK AND YOU'LL HEAR A TALE, A TALE OF A FATEFUL TRIP. THAT STARTED FROM THIS TROPIC PORT, ABOARD THIS TINY SHIP. Okay, so perhaps it was more of a large ferry boat, and it was more enjoyable than fateful, and the weather was sunny but not tropical. Today we took a public ferry boat on a 2 hour cruise around lake Zurich. If you have an all day train ticket, you can also ride the ferry for free. It's relaxing and nice to see all the lakeside homes (apparently Tina Turner has a house nearby) but don't expect anything too much. If you have time I'd suggest perhaps taking a picnic and getting off half way and then jumping back on later. You could finish with a free visit to a chocolate factory (no factory tour but there is bound to be free samples) which is one of the stops.
LESSON FOR THE DAY: Organise some all day transport tickets when getting around Zurich... and if doing lots of travel within Switzerland there are some passes to give you unlimited travel between cities also.
