day one
Tuesday, June 9, 2015, 06:00 PM
We woke later than usual - 7:15 AM. This was making up for last night's lack of sleep. The bathroom is ridiculously small. The shower is a tiny closet that is a challenge. Had the hotel buffet which included scrambled eggs with cheese and lots of good things like bacon, fruit, yogurt, pastries, sausage and hash brown. What a filling breakfast but lousy machine made coffee. It's raining so we chose to walk to the Wagner home. This was educational.. I learned Wagner was very short and his wife Cosima was incredibly tall, They had 3 children before getting married. The problem was she was still married to Hans Bulow but married Richard immediately when granted a divorce. We had a nice time with Susan the cashier in the house. She's a displaced Australian. We discussed Wagner and families, her parents and children
Next we walked old town finding the bridge again. Tried for lunch at an Italian place but after sitting there for quite a while we visited a British pub which was much better. We had 2 beers and 2 burgers with fries for $50 CHF. Walked up to the Lion sculpture then walked the medieval wall. It was pretty tiring. Enjoyed it all very thoroughly. For dinner we had Tapas in Bolero, the hotel restaurant. Once again it was a winner. I ordered chicken and shrimp, Libbie ordered beef, lamb skewers and cheese quesadillas.
We returned upstairs tired and full.
