Have we mentioned that the Zürich Zoo doesn't have giraffes. And that Little Geek Girl loves giraffes? So on Saturday, we took the train to Basel and spent a nice day at the zoo. A minor flaw in the plan was that they working on the giraffe enclosure so we weren't able to get that close, but it was nice to see some horned, spotted, and long-necked creatures.
After the zoo we walked towards the city center. LGG climbed the sculpture by Paddy Reilly's and then we stopped for a drink elsewhere and a snack of Tarte Flambee. We went up to the Münster to look at the Rhine and the view and then headed back to the station, stopping for a quick dinner on the way back.
On the way to Basel, our German neighbors were on the train (continuing on to Hamburg for the second week of Fall holiday) and on the way home one of Zürich Daddy Geek's colleagues sat with us. We were quite surprised that the Saturday 8 pm train from Basel to Zürich was so full, but were happy to get seats.
Anyways, here are some photos so you don't forget what we look like.
