Day 12: Zurich

I took the bus again to Zurich after Brussels. The cities in Switzerland just seem like a lot smaller, with nothing too grand or in your face, but I kind of like them because they're tranquille and nice. They even remind me a little of Vancouver with their water and mountains.

My hostel room. And of course there are no elevators so I had to haul my heavy luggage up 5 flights of stairs... God I really have to learn how to pack lighter... Or pick hostels with elevators for that matter... After a long day of sightseeing I just want to sleep... zzz...
