We started our last morning at Französ, a small, cosy coffee shop and a nice quiet spot to begin the day.
Afterwards we took one more walk through Zurich, where old and modern buildings sit side by side. Down by the River Limmat there were swans on the water in front of the grand old buildings. We had lunch at Yard Bird before heading to the airport, which is only a short train ride from the main station. The glaciers and waterfalls of the past ten days were still very much on our minds as we flew back to Gatwick.
