In Zurich, Switzerland

 

I had gone to Amsterdam to attend the World Congress of Families. On my way back I went to Zurich where Mini was studying. I had a lovely time and we spend some beautiful evenings around the water bodies which surround the whole city. This city is Switzerland's main commercial and cultural centre and sometimes called the Cultural Capital of Switzerland. Zürich was named the city with the best quality of life in the world as well as the wealthiest city in Europe. In 2008, Zürich was ranked ninth as the most expensive city in the world. Zürich was accidentally bombed during World War II. But today there is no trace of this and the whole city has been reconstructed and one can also see some old buildings. We also visited the Rhine falls, Europe’s largest waterfall. They are truly magnificent, not so much for their height (a mere 23m) as for their impressive breadth (150m) and the  spray rise in  a cloud of rainbows above the forested banks.The falls are located on the High Rhine between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland. One has to walk around the town and it was fun to see a lot of people out in the streets on the weekend and enjoying themselves with music and songs. The whole street seemed to filled with a lot of life on Friday and Saturday and every one out there seemed to be out enjoying the weather and sitting out doors.
