Chapter Ninety-Six: The Third Leg of the Journey Zurich II
After a night of discussion, Li Zehan and the others set an itinerary for the next day.
The hotel does not provide breakfast, so Li Zehan and a few people plan to go out to eat, and start their trip today by the way.
Walking out of the hotel, looking at the gray day that will start to rain at any time, everyone's original good mood is inevitably low, how can people play with peace of mind in this weather.
"This is the first time we've had bad weather since we traveled. Park Shixian touched her chin and looked at the other three and said.
"It looks like we should change our itinerary today, otherwise it will be very troublesome if it really rains. Kim Tae-hee nodded and said.
"We have umbrellas, but let's try to find some shelter from the rain. Li Zehan thought for a while and said.
"That's it, you can't stay in the hotel for another day. Park Shixian clapped her hands and said.
"The most important thing now is to find a place to have a nice breakfast first, otherwise we won't have the strength to play, and the cold wind here is not a good choice. "The temperature here in Switzerland is much cooler than in Venice, and even though we have changed to long sleeves, it still feels a little cold when the wind blows in such a rainy weather.
So the group began to look for a place to have breakfast.
As the largest city in Switzerland, Zurich is not as grand and ostentatious as Paris and Berlin, but she has been lying quietly on the shores of Lake Zurich, attracting and welcoming those who know how to appreciate her with her unique scenery. Therefore, there are a thousand Zurich in the hearts of a thousand people, and only those who have been here can appreciate its beauty!
Most of the houses here are pale yellow and white, in harmony with the surrounding trees. Zurich is unusually quiet in the early morning, and there are very few pedestrians. It's a cloudy day in Zurich, and the morning seems to be still asleep.
There are many pleasure boats parked on the shores of Lake Zurich, most of them covered with plastic or cloth, and it is about the beginning of winter, so the boats are also starting to go into hibernation. If these cruises are in season, Lake Zurich would be a very lively scene.
The passers-by they met along the way would smile and nod their heads when they saw Li Zehan and the four of them, making the four of them constantly sigh at the friendliness of the Swiss.
After Li Zehan and the four of them found a place to have breakfast, the weather was also a little better, which made Li Zehan and the four of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Zehan's first destination for the four of them was the Swiss National Museum, and they have been visiting too many churches recently, and they are really a little aesthetically tired, so they decided to save the three cathedrals for the end.
The Swiss National Museum, located opposite the Zurich train station, is one of Switzerland's most famous museums and the largest museum in Switzerland.
The museum was built in 1989 and has more than 100 exhibition rooms, mainly displaying primitive culture, Paleolithic and Mesolithic culture, Neolithic culture, Roman culture, medieval arts and crafts, modern arts and crafts, weapons and military uniforms, currency and seals, humanities and calligraphy and painting and other aspects of the collection, which can be called the silhouette of European history for thousands of years.
Compared to other museums in Europe, it presents the three main characteristics of Switzerland quite comprehensively: clocks, banks and cheese.
"Is this a museum? Why does it feel so much like a church? After arriving at the museum, looking at the building in front of him, Park Shixian couldn't help but say to the three people around him.
"It's really quite similar, is it a church reconstruction?" Li Zehan also touched his chin and said.
"Why are you tangled in this, this doesn't affect our visit, buy a ticket to go in." Jiang Zhiqi shook his head and said.
"Yes, and if you go inside, you probably have the answer. ”
So a few people bought tickets to enter the museum, deposited their bags in the free lockers, and began to shop.
The museum collection is not much, but the exhibition presentation forms are still relatively diverse, and many of them can be experienced directly.
The first floor of the museum mainly displays Swiss historical artefacts, religious artefacts, carved oil paintings, traditional handicrafts, and on the second floor, the wooden furniture and wall decorations of the history are displayed. The decoration of the showroom and hall draws on the artistic achievements of the 15th to 18th centuries, and the exhibits are weapons, armor, military newspapers, military flags, etc. The museum also exhibits the interior of an old house, which was transplanted from a real house.
But those introductions will forgive Li Zehan and a few of them are uneducated and can't understand it, English can be said to be pitiful, most of them are German, French, Italian three languages, but they don't understand.
In the process of visiting, Li Zehan and the four of them also gave a jump to the alarm that suddenly remembered, and after looking at it, they found that there was a little girl who touched the exhibits with her hands because of curiosity, so the alarm bell rang, and the museum staff was very nice, squatting in front of the frightened little girl, smiling and comforting the little girl, and after she recovered a little, she kindly reminded her not to touch the exhibits at will.
"I didn't expect us to spend almost three hours here. After coming out of the museum, Park Shixian looked at the time and said in some surprise.
"Who let a lot of exhibits spend a lot of time guessing because we can't understand the introduction? Li Zehan shrugged and said.
"At the end of the guess, I still have to ask the staff. Kim Tae-hee said helplessly.
"If you don't figure it out, you always feel a little unhappy. Park Shixian said with some embarrassment, she also knew that it was mainly because of her curiosity that they would stay here for so long.
"Now that your curiosity has been satisfied, let's head off to the next place. Jiang Zhiqi rubbed Park Shixian's hair dotingly and said.
"Well, let's go. Park Shixian smiled and hugged Jiang Zhiqi's arm tightly and said.
Looking at the couple who had entered the mode of showing affection, Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee looked at each other and smiled, and then Lee Tae-han also took Kim Tae-hee's hand, followed behind Park Shixian and his wife, and headed for the next destination.
The next destination for the four of them is the Augustinian Lane, which is next to the Bahnhofstrasse and Bahnhofstrasse, which is arguably one of the most charming alleys in Zurich's Old Town, with some of Zurich's most beautiful buildings and a romantic atmosphere.
Flanked by houses from the 14th to the 18th centuries, Augustinian Lane was a gathering place for Zurich's artisans in the Middle Ages, and today these colourful little houses have been transformed into creative craft shops, atmospheric cafés and unusual bookshops.
The numerous colourful bay belly windows on the house exude a unique charm. One of the functions of the bay belly window is to observe the visiting guests, so these bay belly windows are not above the main entrance, but are built next to them. It can be said that you are looking at the scenery on the road, and the people watching the scenery upstairs are also watching you.
When you look up, you can see that almost every building is hung with the Swiss flag, which flutters in the wind in the quiet alleys, and is full of romantic and nostalgic flavor.
But the alley is beautiful, Kim Tae-hee and Park Se-hyun are really tormenting when they walk in it, who let those stores arouse their desire to shop, but the two men who don't want to add more luggage are desperately pulling the two of them and not letting them into those stores.
"Why don't you just buy me something as a souvenir? Kim Tae-hee pitifully pulled Li Zehan's arm and said.
"No, that's what you said when you were in Venice before, and it turned out. Li Zehan glanced at her and said, I really couldn't see that Kim Tae-hee still had the potential to be a shopaholic.
"You've changed, you wouldn't have done this to me before. Kim Tae-hyun said with a flat mouth.
"Men are like this, they don't cherish it after they catch it. Park Shixian also looked at Jiang Zhiqi with resentful eyes, which made the two men feel a lot of pressure.
"It's useless to talk too much, you better stay honest. ”
"If you have to buy a bunch of things every time you go to a place, then it is estimated that after we finish playing in Switzerland, we will have to end the trip early and return home, otherwise who can handle so much luggage. Jiang Zhiqi sighed and said.
After listening to the words of the two, Kim Tae-hee and Park Se-hyun were like frosted eggplants, leaving the two men behind, and walking forward angrily.
Li Zehan and Jiang Zhiqi glanced at each other, and they both saw the smiles on their faces. Then he quickly followed the two people in front of him.
It was almost lunchtime after walking around Augustine Lane, so the group found a restaurant that looked good. I'm going to try the traditional dishes of Zurich.
In the process of eating, it began to rain lightly outside, which made several people have to renegotiate the itinerary for the meeting.
"Let's go on a boat trip to the lake in the afternoon, it seems to have a different flavor. Li Zehan looked at the tourist attraction guide on his phone and said.
"It's a good idea, I wanted to go for a swim when I saw Lake Zurich yesterday. Park Shixian said excitedly.
"But wouldn't your and Tai Xu's clothes be too thin?" Jiang Zhiqi said with a frown.
"Not at all. Park Shixian hurriedly shook her head and said, for fear that because of this, Jiang Zhiqi and Li Zehan would change their minds and not go to the lake.
"Forget it, I should stay in the cabin anyway, it shouldn't be so cold. Jiang Zhiqi saw that Park Shixian wanted to go so much, so he had to nod.
"Anyway, brother-in-law, you have a lot of words today, and it seems that you like Zurich very much. Kim Tae-hee chuckled and said that when he was in Rome and Venice before, Kang Ji-ki rarely expressed his opinions, and it was basically arranged by them.
"I used to think about retiring in the future, and after the children can be independent, I will settle here with Shixian and enjoy the rest of our lives. Jiang Zhiqi held Park Shixian's hand and said.
"Really?" Kim Tae-hee said in surprise, Park Shixian also looked at her husband with a touched face, which Jiang Ji-ki hadn't told her yet.
"Shouldn't I think about it, too? Li Zehan said thoughtfully.
"Sober me up, knowing it's impossible. Kim Tae-hee gave him a blank look and said.
"Let's go, I can't wait. Park Shixian stood up and said urgingly.
After paying the bill, several people began to head to Lake Zurich.
When they came to the shore of Lake Zurich, Li Zehan and the four of them saw a lot of swans and wild ducks, which made Kim Tae-hee and Park Shixian feel very amazing that the swans and wild ducks here are not afraid of people, and it seems that they will take the initiative to ask friends for food.
There happened to be a pleasure boat parked at the pier, and the four of them immediately bought tickets and boarded the boat.
Entering the cabin, I probably looked at it, it was very simple, there were not many passengers, it was normal to think about it, it was not the tourist season, and it was a rainy day.
It was opened by hand, but because of the rain outside and the consideration of other passengers, the four of them did not open it.
Soon after the boat started, Li Zehan and the four of them saw the Zurich Cathedral and the Frauenkirche in the center of the city.
On the north shore of Lake Zurich is a beautiful village full of lake-view villas, known as the "Golden Shore" for the wealthy, and the "Silver Shore" on the southern shore.
The dock on the lake is full of sailboats and yachts, and Park Shixian is amazed to see it.
Li Zehan and the four of them also saw someone rowing a canoe in the lake in the rain, but it seemed that the tacit understanding was not enough and did not cooperate well, so the speed was not fast, and more contact and tacit understanding were needed.
From time to time, some people can be seen walking their dogs with umbrellas on the lawn by the lake.
Soon, the one-and-a-half-hour tour time passed in the lake, and Li Zehan and the four of them also got off the boat with some unhappiness.
"If the weather is good tomorrow, let's do it again. "I didn't feel much about being in the cabin all the time.
"Seconded. ”
"Yes. ”
The other three who also have regrets in their hearts will naturally not refuse.
Due to the increasing rain, several people had to end today's trip early and return to the hotel early.
Back at the hotel, they were not idle, they felt that they had eaten a little too much food recently, and Kim Tae-hee and Park Shixian, who had a tendency to increase in weight, asked Lee Zehan and Kang Ji-ki to change their clothes, and then pulled them to the hotel's fitness center to start exercising.
This is very much in line with Li Zehan's wishes, but it also hurts Jiang Zhiqi, who makes Li Zehan like to help others specify fitness plans, Jiang Zhiqi can't bear to refuse Li Zehan's kindness, and as a result, Jiang Zhiqi is almost tired and paralyzed, and he almost doesn't want to eat dinner, he just wants to go back to the room to have a good rest.
Then after dinner, the two energetic women took Li Zehan and the others to the hotel's barber and beauty salon to take care of their hair and skin care.
After a period of tossing, even Li Zehan, who thought he had good physical strength, couldn't help but want to go back to the room immediately to lie down.
Although he finally returned to the room as he wished, Kim Tae-hee, who was still in spirit, let him go so easily, and asked Lee Taek-han to watch a movie with her with his laptop.
After watching Kim Tae-hee for a while, Li Zehan still couldn't help but fall asleep, and fell asleep without even taking a bath, Kim Tae-hee looked at the sleeping Li Zehan, hooked the corners of his mouth and put away the computer, kissed Li Zehan lightly on the face, and said goodnight in a very gentle tone, then left Li Zehan's room and returned to his room to prepare to take a bath and rest.
