This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 36-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).
Today’s travel notes
Me and the TC have spent the last couple of weeks in Zurich. It was largely a working trip for the TC. Spending time in a city as a working person is a different experience from being a tourist. We have, however, found the time to see a bit of the city too.
The book I’m in
Tell Me Lies, by J. P. Pomare. The TC has just started this book. I’m looking forward to digging in during the long trip home from Zurich to Sydney.
Recommended restaurant
Burgermeister, Oberdorfstrasse, Zurich. The restaurant offers take-away as well as dine-in meals. You order your food at the counter and collect it there too. The food comes quickly. It’s very tasty and of high quality.
Travel tips
Parking is complicated. Blue zones, white zones, time restrictions… Read up on it before you arrive.
The photos
Me surveying a complex-looking plug socket array in our Zurich accommodation:
Swiss plugs differ from those in much of Europe. They have three prongs, with the middle one slightly offset.
The lovely Limmat River runs through Zurich. This worm appreciated the river in its many moods:
Scooters, bicycles, motorbikes, e-bikes — people use a variety of vehicles to move around the city:
Winding alleys lead down into the old town:
A city view from the Lindenhof on the western bank of the Limmat river:
Another view of the city, this time from the university on the eastern side of the river:
I’ll close with some multi-coloured berries on a creeping plant. It was autumn. The leaves were beginning to turn and the air was acquiring a chill. Berry season. The TC passed this wall every day on her walk into the office in Zurich:
That’s all for today, folks.
