Our Christmas Dinner

The Train we put our car on!

The road we thought we were going drive on!

On Christmas Day we headed back towards Zurich to return the car and to catch a plane home the 26th.  We drove towards Furkapass hoping to drive over it.  We have heard it is beautiful.  Needless to say it was closed.  It was not just closed but snowed over until probably May.  So we put the car on a train that goes through the mountain.  It was interesting and fun.  After we got off the train we headed to find The Engel Cafe.  Brad found it online.  Engel in German means angel.  We go to the town and park, you cannot drive on the street where the cafe is.  Well we cannot find it.  A little disappointed but ready to get the car returned we head to Zurich.  After we return the car we have a couple of beers and realize that there is a mall at the airport and it is open till 10.  So we take our stuff to the hotel, on the free shuttle bus, and then head back to the mall.  It was fun to shop around.  We bought some last minute souvenirs and had Macdonalds for Christmas Dinner.  It was the only restaurant in the food court that looked edible.  We had a great Christmas just being together!

That's crazy that you take your rental car on the train!
