Rapper's Ville .. Rapperswil

Zurich is at one end of a "bent finger" Lake ( Zurichsee) and at the other end is Rapperswil.

I took the S15 ( S Bahn ) Urban train and in an hour was at Rapperswil... bad weather all the way..

Took the 1325 ferry back to Zurich that gets to Burkplatz where the 11Tram ( via Paradeplatz) get me to teh Zurich Haupt Bahnhof.

I used 3 types of public transport and could get one ticket for all.

In the back you can see the Castle and the foreground is the Aldstaad. ( Old City ) .. at the edge of the lake, the view is very nice.

Around the dock, a few bars and restaurants.. including a Mc Donalds! Looking out to the lake, waiting for the Ferry to appear..

. .... and here she is :

.. a lazy sail down the Zurichsee in cosy 2KL ( 2nd Class) ... full bar service and food.. for Swiss Standards, not very expensive .. sipped a glass of White wine from the lcoal area ( I could see the vineyards as we sailed by)

The Helvitia, stopped at about a dozen little cities ( all Zurich Suburbia ) and got us to Zurich at 1515.. an hour and a half later.

.. While I looked around for Rappers, none could be seen!
