Zooming past Zurich

I have just returned from a work trip to the Swiss municipalities of Eschenz and Stein am Rhein. The towns are located approximately 1 hour by car from Zurich Airport, flights to which, you would need a Swiss bank account to pay for (approx 1000 euro was the cheapest I could find)! Stein am Rhein is a picturesque little town with wonderful frescos painted on the walls of its many medieval buildings. I dined on fish from the Lake of Constance (Stein am Rhein is where the Lake meets the Rhein, hence the name) and saw the smallest inhabited island in Europe! The scenery was wonderful with plenty of snow capped mountains.

Since we only saw the city by night I have attached some photos from the internet instead of my own.
