There is no better way to find out about a new city than
with a walking tour. Zurich is a small
city with only 400, 000 inhabitants, a beautiful lake and river and a lovely
city center.
It was surprising to learn about the woman of Zurich. At some time in the 18th Century
all the men had left Zurich to fight, however Zurich become vulnerable to
attack. The woman dressed in men’s
armour and lined the river bank, the enemy believed they had the wrong
information and thought the city was heavily guarded and left without invading
or attacking. Other than this the woman
of Switzerland were actually very suppressed, woman only got the vote in 1971.
Zurich has 1224 water fountains that Leo and Corban were
very happy to drink from and play with along the tour.
After the tour we headed home to pick up the bikes and spent
the afternoon biking along the lake.
Corban did really well biking on her own while Leo had a comfortable
seat on the back of the bike.
