Day 194 - Not exactly Vic Falls, but still worth a visit

Rothrist (Switzerland) to Stuhlingen (Germany) - Gasthof Hotel Krone

Today we drove to Zurich, and went for a short walk around town, including a stroll up and down Bahnhoffstrasse, supposedly a great street for shopping, though we didn't notice anything special. Sometimes you have heard of a city so much you think you have to visit but when you get there it is just another big city!

We drove from there on to the Rhine Falls (Rheinfall), the largest waterfall in Europe. Obviously after seeing Victoria Falls we are not going to be easily impressed. What the Rhine Falls lose in size is made up for by the way the platforms are built around the falls, giving you a closeup experience as you are very close to the water rushing past.

We spent the night at a lovely little guest house in Stuhlingen, a few minutes over the border in Germany, where we gladly opened up our wallets to eat in a restaurant again!
