Arrived in Zurich yesterday- and was immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the airport and surrounding area, so I decided to drop my things at the hotel and take the surface trolley to the City’s center (about 45 minutes). Even the trolley was clean. I attempted to get seated at several restaurants, but it was a busy Friday evening and most required reservations. I should have done more research and made a reservation. Mildly frustrated, and developing a hunger headache, I decided on Rheinfelder Bieraus, where I tried their Pork Schnitzel with cream sauce and their in-house lager. It didn’t look like much, but hit the spot. On to Palermo today to really start the trip.

Successful first day! The Schnitzel was a good choice, looks delicious. Did you try any chocolate?
Brad
Yes I tried a few chocolates. Switzerland really deserves a full trip itself!

How was Swiss Air? I think I am going to plan Switzerland in November

Swiss Air was good. The overnight LX41 flight is a good one to keep in mind. The aircraft was a 777-300 I believe. I was in Premium Economy seat 20K which is an exit row window seat and had about 6 feet of leg room. The tradeoff is that there isn’t a window and overhead storage was tight. I’d sit t here again just for the legroom especially on an overnight when there is nothing to really see out the window anyway.
