We took almost a year in advance to plan for this. We plan to start our trip on the 4th day after our ROM and where better to end it other than ROME. Our plan is to fly into Zurich (Switzerland ) head south towards Italy and leave from ROME a total of 20days/18nights. In case you didn't notice, 'S' is till wishing to see more snow ( not knowing how deadly her wishes could be) . If you have read my earlier post from Jeju Seoul , we ended up experiencing something we have not experience before :)
Our flight was suppose to leave on the 4th Night and flying off early 5th morning to Zurich. We had a few hours break at the Singapore Airport. And we are also in for a surprise when we found out that we are flying on A380 on the long haul on the upper deck.

Once we arrive at Zurichairport, we quickly found out way to the train to the city and checked into Hotel Continental Zurich. The train station from the airport to Zurich city center is just below the airport arrival deck while our hotel is just few minutes walk from Zurich main train station.
This has got to be one of the best choice for the hotel as not only it is near to the main train station, the hotel took customer service defination to the next level. We arrive at the hotel ~9am but was told that the hotel was not ready until 11am. The staff was pleasent and gave us some hint on where to go for breakfast and kill time. You can read the review about hotel continental zurich on tripadvisor here.

The best from the hotel was yet to come.
We didn't really catch much sleep on the plane but still, we are excited and exhausted from the wedding.
We the spend the whole evening exploring Zurich along Limmat river as you can see from the pictures below. It just felt amazing to be there then enjoying this special moment with my special someone.
