Another eventful week, as I continue to explore all Switzerland has to offer. Wednesday, in upper 20s temps (mid 80s F), I played another round of golf at Golfpark Holzhauzern, with my friend Scott. Started off playing well, but I couldn't keep it up through the whole round, as the high temps got to me during the last four holes. Still a decent round on a beautiful course. I'll play one more round before flying back to the US.
Thursday, Kristina flew back to Philadelphia for her friend Jocelyn's bachelorette party in AC. After getting her to the airport, I headed uptown to check out the Tutunkamen Exhibit, which is in town through September. Though it's a fascinating historical exhibit, I was expecting to see some real artifacts, but it was made up of replicas and photos, which were still very interesting. Overall, I'm glad I made the trip.
Since we first moved to Thalwil, I've wanted to bike round the Zurichsee. I'd been told it was about a 3.5 hour trip on a road bike, but I only have a mountain bike so I'd have to take it a bit slower. Yesterday I finally decided to make the trip. After packing a PB & J sandwich, some raisins, a water bottle and a book in my backpack, I set out on the road. After biking for about 2 hours through the towns of Ruschlikon, Kilchberg, Zurich, Kussnacht, Meilen, and Uffretikon, among others, I reached the beautiful lake town of Rapperswil. Here I decided to take a break for lunch and do some reading. I found a cozy bench along the lake and relaxed for about an hour. Then I headed off for the rest of my journey. Biking along the lake, I passed through the towns of Pfaffikon, Bach, Au, Richterswil, Wadenswil and Horgen, before arriving back in Thalwil about 5 hours after I had left. What an awesome trip. The tired legs are totally worth it. Can't wait to do it again soon.
