Last weekend I flew out to Zürich for some quality time with my BFF George. We don't get to see each other very often so we usually talk ten-to-the-dozen and I forget to take any photos and all too soon it's time to get on the plane to come home!
That kind of happened again this time, but I did manage to whip out my iPhone a couple of times.
As soon as I landed George whisked me out of the airport and onto a little train called the Dolderbahn.
The Dolderbahn takes you up the mountain to the most beautiful place.....
Doesn't it just look magical?
We snuck inside for lots of girly catch-up time over glasses of pink champagne in the saloon.
One of my most favourite things about The Dolder is the décor. It effortlessly fuses modern and traditional elements to create soothing and elegant surroundings.
Fuelled by our bubbles we headed out into the cold to watch the ice-skaters.
On Saturday we had a relaxing day and decided to re-energise with some good food and a little trip to the cinema to see the new Hunger Games film.
We stopped at Not Guilty in Oerlikon. I love that place!!! Possibly my most favourite restaurant in Zürich although Hiltl will always hold a special place in my heart.
Simple and natural food is the name of the game at Not Guilty, you can't leave there without feeling like you've given your body a little TLC.
We both went for the salmon salad and soup, with a little cranberry kombucha on the side - yum!
After the movies, we went to see one of my all-time favourite Zürich Christmas sights. The Human-Singing-Christmas-Tree!! Yes people , you read that correctly.....
And after all that build up.....here she is in all her blurry, rainy glory!
Sorry for the terrible photo, but it was absolutely pee'ing it down and we had to give the tree a wave and dash before we got soaked!
Seriously though, if you're ever in Zürich at Christmas, you have to grab a cup of Glühwein and go and spend some time by the tree, it makes you feel so Christmassy!!
To even out all our healthy intentions from earlier in the day we picked up some Cronut's on the way home.
I am seriously late to this Cronut party! A cross between a doughnut and a croissant in one tasty baked good - yes please!! They are so damn good, I almost wish we hadn't been introduced. Almost, but not quite...
Then wesqueezed into popped on our party dresses and went out for dinner and dancing.
Georgio took us to Café Lang for some funky cocktails and relaxed food.
I went for the club sandwich which was so damn good....and just look at that presentation!

After a few more cocktails we danced the night away, and got the 2.54 train home.
Sunday we chilled and chatted and then it was time to go.....
Zürich, I miss you already.
