Good-Bye Switzerland

I left Switzerland yesterday.

It was quite a sad farewell and I will miss Isabella my collegue, landlady and friend a lot...
We had so much fun working together during the day. Cooking together, sitting on the balcony, gossiping, riding the Vespa, jogging and swimming, dancing, ...

The last days have been pretty intense once more.
Wednesday I had dinner with Falk and we went out afterwards till early morning.
With a biiig lack of sleep and still vodka cranberry in my blood I had to run to catch my tram, cause I didnt want to be late my last day... However, I was a lazy bumm in the hospital. My level of motivation decreased and decreased and I guess it was mainly due to a big melancholy overwhelming my little heart... My first operation I assisted was an orthopedic one: hip replacement, my last one was traumatology: a broken femur Thursday at 4 p.m. ... the hip joint was one of my dearest friends in Switzerland :-))


The evening I spent with Damien, having table BBQ at Badi Wollishofen, some drinks at Badi Enge and trying to get on top of Uti Mountain with the car. Well, there is no official road so we tried to find a way up on all those bike paths - I have to admit the little scary bunny I am, I saw us stranded with the car in some kind of puddle of mud or hit by a boar more than once...
Oh, yeah, we didnt reached to view platform but nothing happened expect from being flashed speeding on our way back...


Adina came from Germany on Friday. I havent seen her since her birthday. And I was really looking forward to see her finally after 6 months again. She arrived a bit tired after coming back from Moscow and we went to my favorite shop in Zurich area - the big Lindt Chocolate shop...
Also we got us some Shirts in summer sale.


We and Isabella met Falk and friends at the Rimini Bar and went on pub and party hopping to Sugar Lounge and Mascotte (it is really cool to go out with two pretty girls - queue jump instead of waiting for an hour as others had to...)


Saturday then was hang-over morning.
Finally we all got up cause we had to go shopping some groceries... We invited all the doctors and some friends to join us having BBQ at the Werdinsel in Zurich - it is a little isle in between the Limmat River and a popular swimming ground. We prepared some salad and cooked and baked a bit. Sadly it wasnt very sunny (for the first time in weeks) and thun der storms were predicted. We considered and discuss a looong time what we would do - finally we didnt change our plans and left for the Isle.
We swam a bit around and when everbody was there (unfortunately Simone, Miranda and Achim could not come)- we started our BBQ. We had those really cool ready-to-BBQ-grills for dummies. Everthing is prepared and you just have to ignite the paper on top of the grill. It was a food fest but I started to feel that itching in my throat. I know that feeling - another Strep throat is on its way... After leaving the isle we went to Caro's and I loved their balcony. It was almost better than TV. We renamed the windows as Channels. I saw the prostitute in black leather high heels bringing one of her clients out, taking the next in and then leaving the place after 20 minutes..


We had a little breakfast on Sunday before Todd came to pick Adina and me up. Now my throat really aches and I m trying to get fit and healthy till Thursday- our flight to the States is booked and I m excited to go on that trip.
