Miles and Smiles Away: August 15: Travel Day

Today was pretty uneventful, so I'll keep it short. We packed up our things in Paris and headed towards the train station, where we would try to catch a train to Zurich. We still hadn't bought any tickets yet, but after chatting with an employee for 30 minutes, we not only got our tickets to Zurich, but we purchased our tickets for the rest of the trip! Which means mom can finally relax and breathe since we actually have a game plan now! After a four hour and thirty minute train ride, we arrived to Zurich. It was so breezy and cool outside -- it felt amazing! I even had to throw some pants on once we checked in to our hotel. We walked back towards the train station, where there were restaurants and bars. We stopped in Au Gratin and had dinner. The people were very friendly, the drinks were cold, and the food was excellent -- what more could we ask for. Following dinner, we walked back to the hotel and had a drink in the hotel bar. There was a man singing and playing the piano, so it was very relaxing! As usual, I ended the night with a few FaceTime calls! Stay tuned because tomorrow will be a lot more eventful. G'night!

My dinner: Sri Lanka Gratin

(Chicken, rice, potatoes, vegetables, curry tomato sauce, topped with cheese)

Side note: when we walked into our hotel, we found earplugs... we figured it was because they knew we had snoring battles. Turned out, it's because these men above are doing construction outside our window from midnight to 5 am :-) :-) :-)
