1st August Celebrations

We spent the entire day in Zürich to join in the August 1 celebrations.
The weather was really kind to us all (after so many weeks of rainfall)
There were tourists all over the streets and everyone was enjoying
whatever this fabulous town had to offer, even the swans made
themselves comfortable along the jetty, enjoying
every bit of public attention. This terrace was packed to capacity - no room for a teensy mouse -
while people were enjoying eats and drinks they were entertained by
non-stop music.


The Zürich See was alive with activities and boats of all shapes and
sizes were out on the water, it was almost as busy as the trams and
cars on the busy streets.
Do click on this picture and you will see the snow on the mountains
far in the background.


This is the Fraumünster looking out over the Zürich See, what I liked
about this pic was the colour of the water, it wasn't only blue, it was
more of a turquoise colour.
What I like about this city that never sleeps is - never a dull moment!!
