We had breakfast at the hotel before leaving Wengen. It was a two and half hour journey to Zurich. We arrived in Zurich famished and instead of waiting to get to the hotel and then searching for food we stopped to grab a meal at the train station. We shared rice and noodle bowl from Rice Up Then we checked into our hotel which was conveniently located across the street from the train station and next to Bahnhofstrasse (the 5th ave or Champ Eleysees of Zurich). Once we were refreshed we headed out to explore a bit. We meandered until we reach Lake Zurich.  But first we stumbled upon this cute bakery called Garde Manger. We sat along the River Limmat and sipped our coffees and enjoyed our fresh and delicious treats.  We wandered some more until we reach the tip of Lake Zurich. From there we hopped onto a bus that took us to the Lindt Chocolate Factory. I shared the post last week.. you can check it out here if you missed it.  After the tour we were pretty tired so we came back to Zurich

Switzerland is the home of Lindt Chocolate. The Swiss chocolatier and confectionery company was founded in 1845. The Headquarters and Factory are in Kilchberg which is a municipality of Zurich. We left Wengen and arrived in Zurich around noon.. but more on Zurich later. We had wanted to go to the Lindt Chocolate Factory.. a cousin of mine had gone earlier and done a chocolate making course and that is what we were most interested in doing. We had made our own chocolate bars at the Hershey Factory  in Pennsylvania many many years ago. But the Lindt experience promised to be more hands on.  We were not going to be in Zurich for many days and they were nearly sold out but luckily we were able to find a few spots on our day of arrival. We took a bus from Zurich Lake to Kilchberg. The Lindt Home of Chocolate welcomes visitors with an impressive chocolate fountain, standing over thirty feet tall. The seemingly weightless construction holds 900 pounds of real chocolate. Mmm.. the whole place
