An awesome day ALWAYS ends with a nude swim and hot cocoa.

Today is the last day the Francesconi's have in Europe, so we decided to make the most of it. And what do the Francesconi's do in Switzerland for one day? Thats right, go on yet another bike tour. So we set off at 8:00 in the morning.  On our walk to the bike tour we had to buy coffee otherwise our mother would be angry the entire day. Oh and not just any European Starbucks coffee but Goldiebeth coffee. Not too big, not too small, not too sweet and defiantly not too strong. Finally after getting our mom her Goldiebeth coffee (which was too strong by the way) we found our tour guide Bruno and set off.


Bruno's information took some twists and turns, but mainly stayed on topic. In just under five hours we covered almost all of Zurich, including many bathing joints along the rivers, public drinking fountains (second most next to Rome), and an incinerator that burns trash shipped from Italy to create electricity for the town. The best part of the day was after lunch, when I swam in the Limmat River. It was amazing!  The river current pushed me along as I floated down river. I didn't have my bathing suit, so I just swam in my underwear which was double awesome. This wasn't a big deal to any of the people around us because Europeans seem to have no problem with public nudity! After swimming we went to our hotel where we drank hot chocolate to end the awesome last day in Europe.
