Sat May 24 Zurich
從天氣預報網站得知第二天盧塞恩是個晴天， 這是看雪山的重要條件，於是決定今天遊覽蘇黎世， 明天去盧塞恩。
昨晚LG一動不動地睡了11小時，女兒還在酣睡的時候， 我們老兩口先轉轉酒店周邊。
睡了13小時，放了三遍john legend 的 All of me，女兒才被叫醒。一家三口按計劃先逛街，從火車站為起點的班霍夫大街Bahnhofstrasse， 位於利瑪特河Limmate Rive的西岸， 是個購物步行街。位於班霍夫大街南端的Confiserie Sprüngli （Confiserie Sprüngli AG， Bahnhofstrasse 21， 8001 Zürich）是今天的重點之一。
吃中午飯， 買巧克力和Luxemburgerli，感覺無論是點心還是巧克力， 名不虛傳， 及其美味。就連餐後免費贈送的黑巧克力都非常好吃。女兒正式宣布， 現在她最喜歡的巧克力品牌是Sprüngli， 其實Sprüngli和Lindt從1836年開始是一家， 自1892年才分開的。
附近的聖母大教堂Fraumünster Church（ Münsterhof 2， 8001 Zürich）教堂廣場正在舉辦返古農業展， 商販們身著中世紀服飾， 展示男耕女織， 打鐵射獵的曆史， 同時出售土特產， 美酒烤肉飄香， 還有孩子喜歡的遊戲， 十分熱鬧。
蘇黎世，上下兩千年。據說是歐洲最富有的城市。喜歡它的淳樸小巷，透著熟悉的親切；也喜歡它的喧囂商業街，透著繁華的魅力。無論是逛街，還是坐在街邊的長椅上曬太陽，最感染我們的，還是它的悠然自得。不知是還在沉醉於Sprüngli的甜蜜回味之中， 還是偶遇結婚彩車從身邊經過，女兒開玩笑說，她可能到這辦婚禮。LG 說：孩子，我得提醒你，婚禮的錢，好象是女方出。。。
一路散步來到Lindenhof公園， 是個小小的山頂公園，俯瞰蘇黎世， 景色不錯。
遊人很多， 也有當地人在悠閑地下象棋，將酒瓶冰鎮在身旁的小噴泉中， 邊玩邊飲， 還有什麽比這更讓人陶醉的嗎？
蘇黎世聯邦理工學院ETH：陪女兒參觀。據說這裏共有21位諾貝爾獎獲得者，不知道今天是否與其中之一擦肩而過。它的主樓除塔樓部分，和LG的母校哈爾濱工業大學很有幾分相似，讓他頓生感慨和懷念。
晚餐高大上的Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag, Munsterhof 8, Zurich 8001, Switzerland (155.8瑞士法郎), 此行最貴的一餐， 七百年的老建築， 環境優雅， 服務一流。
據說蘇黎世的夜景也十分漂亮，但幾天來四處奔波比較疲倦， 一直沒有機會出來拍照， 看女兒對ETH很感興趣的樣子， 沒準兒會來這裏做交換學生學習半年， 小小遺憾留待那時再說吧。
Tips：
Confiserie Sprüngli
The Confiserie Sprüngli, is a Swiss luxury confectionery manufacturer founded in 1836 and internationally known for its signature macaroons called "Luxemburgerli". The company was founded in 1836when Rudolf Sprüngli bought a confectioner's shop inZürich. He started producing chocolates, as David Sprüngli & Fils, in 1845 and opened the shop on Paradeplatz in 1859. In 1892, the chocolate-producing branch of the business split off from the confectionery and now operates independently as Lindt & Sprüngli.
In 1956, Richard Sprüngli took over the confiserie and positioned it as a luxury brand.A year later, Sprüngli sold the first Luxemburgerli, a sort of macaroon invented by a Sprüngli confectioner from Luxembourg; they are now the company's flagship product of which about 650 kilograms (1,430 lb) are produced daily.Since 1994, the family-owned company is led by the brothers Tomas and Milan Prenosil, sixth-generation descendants of Rudolf Sprüngli.
Tips: Take a seat in Switzerland’s most famous coffee house – either in the refined, traditional first-floor rooms, or down in the bustling street-level café – and order the legendary Birchermüesli, along with a couple of the famous Luxemburgerli macaroons.
