We have lived in Zürich over a year now and a week ago was the first time I've seen all the Alps out around Lake Zürich! Sure we have lots of days with clear blue skies but it's always too hazy to make out the mountains so you need a day with no haze and few clouds in order to see them. It happens only a few times per year, no joke. On all the postcards of Zürich and on all the websites you see this perfect picture of the lake with snow-capped Alps in the background but your chances of seeing such a sight when you visit Zürich are slim to none. It's often that you get a glimpse of a few of the mountains but never the whole line of them stretching all the way across the southern horizon.
While we were driving back from France with Martin's parents we noticed that we saw Alps in the distance so we drove Larry and Frankie right up to the top of one of the hills that overlooks Zürich and had a look. It was still kind of hazy but by far the best I've seen yet!
