I arrived in Zurich with my family after a long flight over 12 hours, and it was a little after 6am local time. The airport skytrain was chaotic and the customs line was packed, but besides that, everything is fine, even the local cuisine.


We hailed an Uber at the airport to head to the rental car pickup station, and it was exceptionally smooth. We got to the pickup point with the help of a kind airport staff member, but the floor signage in the lift was confusing, where the first floor was labeled as 0. What’s more, I found this was a very common practice in Zurich, I got confused again later in the hotel.
We chose an Audi A5 Avant at the rental car pickup station, since we would cross three countries on this trip and we had lots of luggage. It was a good car, my daughter fell asleep in 15 minutes after I started driving. We drove from Zurich to Bern, the capital of Switzerland, and our hotel was there.
We will stay here for 2 days, exploring this ancient city mainly on foot, after that, we will head to the next destination – Interlaken.
