June 7

Do you want me to be honest or make something up? I bet your saying honest. Today we went to Zurich. I woke up a half an hour late and thought I was going to miss our bus. But I was fine. I didn't realize how long the bus ride was. It was quite convenient that we had such a long bus ride because I didn't sleep as much as I would've like to the night before.

We got to Zurich and we drove around, and saw some  of the historic buildings and shopping area. We got to the place where we were supposed to meet our tour guides and split up into two groups: English and German. I (of course) went with the English so I could understand everything.

(This is the part where I'm honest. The tour wasn't that great. I enjoyed the city but I guess I was looking forward to the rest of the day too much.) After the tour we went and ate lunch by the Zurich lake. I just packed a salami sandwich and then a bread with Nutella and butter... YUM! 

We then took a boat ride to another part of Zurich which was where the supposed chocolate factory was... So we got off the boat and walked for (as Frau Burkard says 6 minutes) and went into this store filled floor to ceiling of Lindt Chocolate. I had the same feeling I get before the Fourth of July when I go firework shopping. :) The sad part was that There was no 'factory' but it's okay because Tom still got chocolate :D
