This morning, Sophie and I planned what we are going to do for our layover in Zurich! We are so excited to be planning our own travel day, and there are so many cool things to see in Zurich. :)
We took motorized rickshaws, aka tuk tuks, to a market called Delhi Haat. It was my first time on a tuk tuk, and I enjoyed it immensely! The market was gorgeous, and I ended up with a lot of great gifts and clothes for myself. :) I've also been stocking up on food so I can throw a dorm tea time with yummy snacks! :) I was killing the bargaining, equipped with my skills from Kathmandu, and I ended up with a few good steals. :) it was so nice to get all of the shopping out of the way on one day--hopefully it won't be too hard to pack!
After that we went to another mall/market place. I got more snacks for the dorm and we ate dinner at A Wok in the Clouds (a mix of Chinese, Indian, and Western cuisine). I got tandoori bhalwan mushrooms that were incredible!!! I love mushrooms and it hit the spot.
That part of the day was a little frustrating because, again, communication had been lacking in several areas. The whole group wasn't told where we were going or how we were getting there; once there, we didn't know where or when to meet up; and for dinner, plans kept changing and we didn't know if we would need money or not. While we all eventually ended up at the same place and on the same page, I wish that we would've had a plan before going to a busy market.
(I'll have to edit this part, but this whole trip the group has been incredibly frustrated with the lack of communication on everything. We usually don't know what is going on or how to plan for the day. It's unnecessarily and incredibly stressful. On the plus, I'm going with the flow more, but that usually means not asking questions because we never get answers. On the real plus, it is helping me understand not to stress about that which is not in my control!)
After dinner we returned to the hotel. Sophie and I tried on our spoils and after a quick meeting with Rajiv about our final day, we hit the hay.
