Another Day Out In Zürich - Üetliberg

First I went to the Museum of Design (Museum für Gestaltung).
 
It was pretty small and didn't take long. Then I took a train from HB...


and went up to a place called Üetliberg. It's on a hill. Once you get off the train, you climb a slippery trail to reach the top of the hill.




Here you can eat bratwurst, drink tea, coffee or punch (pronounced poonch) and generally hang around in cold windy conditions enjoying great views of the city and surrounding areas.


You can also climb up a tower, and get even better views at the risk of mild frostbite. Enjoy...



It is really windy up here!




Yup, that is Zürichsee. 

On the way back in the train, I was trying to decipher the signs.


I think I have it. In order from left to right (click on the image above to get a bigger picture): No crazy wigs allowed; do not empty your pockets on the train (or is it no broke people allowed?); no rock stars allowed either; don't saw the seat you sit on; and finally, no chilling out on the train. Hehe, but seriously I'm fairly certain what each of them means except the second and I guess it's just don't travel without a ticket.

    Glad you're having fun. Evening shots are exceptionally dreamy. Reminds me of Budapest. Keep up the good work!
