This past Sunday we woke up to a gorgeous sunny day and Martin turns to me and says, hey, let's go on a boat ride to which I respond, well, I have a lot of things I wanted to get done today but sure, why not. So we went for a 4-hour round-trip boat ride on Lake Zürich. You ride on a big ferry boat and it takes 1:45 to get from Zürich at the top of the lake to Rapperswil at the bottom of the lake.
Some pictures from the boat on the way to Rapperswil:
We saw another boat like ours, except this one had a paddlewheel:
Lots of sailboats down near Rapperswil, might have been a little race because it looked like they were going in one big circle:
And here is Rapperswil:
There isn't much to Rapperswil - some shopping (not on Sunday though so nothing was open when we were there), the lake, a nice rose garden, and a little castle and church. It's perfect to go there for lunch and spend an hour wandering around and enjoying the old town and views of the lake. We ate lunch at an outdoor cafe in the main square here, then walked up the stairs you see in the back where there's a path you can walk along and get a great view:
The rose garden:
Super cute lakefront:
