Chapter Ninety-Five: The Third Leg of the Journey Zurich I

Today is the day when Li Zehan and the four of them set off for their next stop, and their next destination is Zurich, Switzerland.

Early in the morning, Li Zehan and the four of them dragged their luggage and left the hotel to Marco Polo Square to take a plane to Zurich.

Switzerland, a land of fascination and dreams, a country favored by God and admired by others, the closest place to heaven in the true sense! Many people say that Swiss people live happily, but how happy they are, no one knows how happy they are.

With such curiosity and expectation, Li Zehan and the four of them were ready to set foot on that land.

However, Li Zehan and their time to go to Switzerland at this time is a little embarrassing, and it can be said that they have missed several of the best times to travel to Switzerland.

There are three best times to travel to Switzerland.

One is June, the peak tourist season for taxis is not in June, and traveling at this time can avoid the trouble caused by crowding. During the summer months, Switzerland's towns and cities host a variety of artistic events, and the Geneva Festival is a free music festival open to the public, and all performances do not require a ticket. Music groups from all over the world will be able to enjoy a wide variety of music styles for three days, whether in concert halls, theaters, town halls or small theaters on the street.

The second is October, October in Switzerland has entered autumn, the degree of greenery in Switzerland is very high, after autumn, the fallen leaves all over the city have formed a unique landscape. In autumn, it is best to visit the Swiss countryside, where agriculture is highly mechanized, the neat wheat fields are lined with farmers' huts, the sunset looks particularly warm and comfortable, and there are occasionally a few unknown castles at the end of the fields, which makes Switzerland feel at ease and have a deep sense of yearning and belonging.

In December, Switzerland has the most and longest downhill ski runs in Europe, and every December, there are countless skiers who come to visit. There are countless snow-capped mountains in Switzerland, and there is no need to mention the Alps, with nearly 50 peaks of more than 4,000 peaks. The canton of Graubünden, the canton of Valais, the Lake Geneva region, etc., are among the famous ski resorts. Many of the world's largest ski events are also held in Switzerland. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to ski, there are plenty of educational facilities in Switzerland's ski resorts, where visitors can learn from scratch and experience the thrill of skiing.

Therefore, Li Zehan and the four people who came in November missed a lot of things.

The flight from Marco Polo Airport to Zurich Airport only takes a little more than an hour, so Li Zehan and his team almost had a leisurely breakfast on the plane and took a break before arriving in Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland.

Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, one of the world's seven largest financial and cultural centers, and home to Swiss banks, is enough to attract many tourists from all over the world every year.

But after arriving at the airport, Li Zehan and the others began to have trouble again, because they came too early, and there was still some time before the check-in time of the booked hotel.

"Let's go to the hotel first, it's not good to go where to play with luggage, go to the hotel and then ask if you can check in early." Park Shixian thought for a moment and said.

"That's all I can do. The other three nodded.

Due to the luggage problem, so the four of them took two taxis to the hotel, although they had long heard that the consumption in Switzerland was high, and the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation was relatively large, but they really saw the taxi meter that jumped faster than their heartbeat, Li Zehan and Kim Tae-hee had just begun to experience.

The hotel they booked is the Ballach Hotel, which has a long history of 171 years and has been passed down to the sixth generation in the same family, and the current generation of family heirs has been running the hotel for half a century. Since its opening in 1844, the hotel has held a leading position in the international luxury hotel industry. A modern aesthetic blends with historical tradition to revitalize an old hotel and perpetuate its legacy.

The hotel is ideally located next to the famous Bahnhofstrasse and has a private garden next to Lake Zurich with stunning views of Lake Zurich and the Alps.

The hotel also has two prestigious restaurants, one of which is the Garden Bar and the other is the Restaurant Pavillon, which is also a temptation for the foodies Lee Taek-han, Kim Tae-hee and Park Se-hee.

"I knew that it was so expensive, and I booked a pick-up service by the way when I booked a room, which was really a mistake. After arriving at the hotel, paying and getting off the bus, Park Shixian couldn't help but complain.

"Ernie, it's too late to talk about this, let's go in first. Kim Tae-hee said with a smile and took Park Se-han's arm, and then the two took the lead in walking to the hotel, while Lee Taek-han and Kang Ji-ki followed behind with their luggage.

Park Se-hyun and Kang Ji-ki were in charge of going to the hotel front desk to inquire about early check-in, while Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee found a seat and sat down and waited for the results.

"No way, I have to wait until after half past one o'clock at the earliest. After a while, Park Shixian and his wife came over and said helplessly that the luxurious small room they booked had not yet been vacated, and they could not move in until the current residents checked out and sorted out.

"Then let's stay for a while, we won't be in a hurry anyway. Kim Tae-hee looked at the time and said, just take advantage of this time to talk on the phone at home and report that he is safe.

In the next period of time, Li Zehan and the four of them began to chat with their families on the phone, and they didn't end the call until the family members were going to dinner.

"Ernie!" It's just that after Park Shixian just finished the call, Kim Tae-hee, who ended the call first, immediately called Park Shixian.

"What's wrong?" Park Se-hyun asked innocently as she looked at Kim Tae-hee, who was staring at her and seemed to be in a state of shame.

"What did you say to my mother?" said Kim Tae-hee, a little frantically.

"No, it's just a truthful statement of the progress of love between you and Zehan. Park Se-hyon said with a sincere face, but the obvious forced smile really made Kim Tae-hee unable to believe her words.

"Ernie, come to my room later, we need to discuss how much oil and vinegar you have mixed in this so-called truthful statement. Kim Tae-hee remembered what his mother said on the phone, and he couldn't help but want to have a good 'exchange' with Park Shixian, so he said to Park Shixian without smiling.

"Well, I woke up too early in the morning, I want to sleep first, and I'll talk about this later. Park Shixian said with a haha, didn't she go to Kim Tae-hee at this time to send sheep into the tiger's mouth.

"If you don't come, you will bear the consequences. Kim Tae-hee said in a non-wavering tone while looking at his fingers.

"Go, of course. Park Shixian compromised and said, who made Kim Tae-hee her boss, although there will be no deduction of wages and bonuses, but if she is not allowed to take leave so easily like before in the future, it will be troublesome.

Kim Tae-hee nodded with satisfaction, and then ignored Park Shixian, who was begging for comfort from Jiang Ji-ki with a bitter face, and chatted with Lee Zehan.

At lunchtime, Li Zehan and the others left their luggage in the hotel, and then dined at the hotel's one-Michelin-starred restaurant.

Built entirely of glass and blending in perfectly with its surroundings all year round, the elegant Pavillon restaurant is one of Zurich's finest restaurants designed by star architect Pierre-Yves Rochon. Exceptional waiters serve exquisite and creative delicacies, and the extensive wine list reflects the extensive collection of the restaurant's own wine cellar. The 16-point rating of the Gault Millau Food Guide means nothing short of what it means. Chef Laurent Eperon's dishes are creative, dynamic and modern. "Contemporary cuisine" is his interpretation of classic high-end dishes.

"It tastes so good, we have been to a lot of restaurants on our trip to Europe, and the food in this restaurant is the most delicious. Park Shixian said with a satisfied face.

"Anyway, this restaurant is a restaurant that has a chance to get a Michelin star, and the ones I went to before are naturally incomparable. Li Zehan said with a smile.

"You know it so well, it's no wonder that I was being encouraged to book this hotel. Park Shixian said funny.

"In order for everyone to have delicious food and make the travel process more enjoyable, it is natural to have to prepare for it. Li Zehan said with a straight face.

"Yes, yes, you've worked so hard. Park Shixian shook her head and said with a smile.

"Nuna, I'll be embarrassed if you praise me so bluntly. Li Zehan said shyly.

"Give me honest food. Kim Tae-hee glared at him angrily and said.

Li Zehan immediately began to eat seriously.

"Hey, it's a good relationship. Park Shixian said with a sigh.

"Ernie, don't forget to come to my room later. Kim Tae-hee said without raising his head as he ate.

Park Shixian also became honest when she heard this.

After eating, after resting, the four of them returned to the hotel lobby, and after consulting about the next room again, the staff at the front desk said that there were already packed rooms for them to move in.

So several people were led to their rooms by the staff.

After tidying up his things, Li Zehan was also a little sleepy, and after sending a text message to Kim Tae-hee, Li Zehan changed his clothes and began to take a nap.

And Kim Tae-hee also plans to take a nap after having some 'communication' with Park Se-hyun.

After the 'exchange' with Kim Tae-hee, Park Se-hyun, who returned to the room with some physical and mental exhaustion, also pulled her husband to start resting after seeking comfort from her husband, anyway, they were not in a hurry to go out to play when they first arrived in Zurich.
