Zurich.....

 A quick flight, then hopped the train to Zurich central. I was given excellent directions from the hotel so I got on the tram for 4 stops and after a block walk was at the hotel. yes, it was raining again. Zurich is an expensive but I was able to find a place in the old part for $138 a night.  That is not budget but for a major city and at its center, plus Zurich is an expensive city, it was pretty good. A quirky hotel called Hotel California.
