On the lake


A few years back O and I discovered that we both really like going on boat rides... so when in Switzerland we try and go on at least one.

This year my parents, my youngest sister, Orhan and I chose to go from:

on the boat

Zurich
to
Rapperswil

on the boat

(again I should say we have done it quite a few times)

After standing in the queue

on pier no 3

we boarded and the siren signaled the beginning of our trip

The ship stopped on several different places

until arriving at Au - a lovely peninsula

We went on land

on the boat

for a little walk and some iced coffees right on top of the hill overlooking the lake.

an hour later we were back on the next ship

enjoying the rest of our journey.

(too) soon we arrived in Rapperswil.

We disembarked and a whole new crowd of passengers got on

while the ship sailed on to Zurich

we went to enjoy some Ice Cream and the lovely old town of Rapperswil
