Danube Christmas Day 15

27 December 2015 Sunday

We received SMS from Singapore Air that our flight was rescheduled from morning 10 am to 1500 hrs. We grabbed this opportunity to make more exploration around Zurich. My wife suggested we make a trip to Uetliberg – to be at the top of Zurich.

 

It was a cool sunny day. We had a short train ride.

It was some uphill walk to the summit. It looked like a favorite place where locals come for walk.

A very memorable and wonderful Christmas Holiday in my Life. We had very unique experience where we traveled by Flight, Bus, Cruise and Trains between the European Cities. We will miss the very romantic Prague and Charles Bridge, many Christmas markets along the Danube, Color of Salzburg, varieties of sighting at Budapest and the snowy experience at Engelberg and Mt Titlis. Yes, we may be back to Singapore, The Blue Danube echoed on and will continue to grip our memory and our heart and soul.
