Zurich, Switzerland

First day (actually evening) in Zurich.  It's colder than we expected.

Zurich Binz Train Station

Trains are +/- 15 seconds on time.  The locals tell me that if they are 2 minutes late, they make an announcement along with alternate transportations - a bus will come by to pick you up to keep you on schedule.  I'm also told that all the trains are synchronously timed with the traffic lights to ensure everything runs according to schedule.  

Our first meal (dinner) is at Zeughauskeller, noted in the travel guides as a good place to get authentic Swiss food.  It has a tavern style, so we ended up sharing a table with another couple.

  

Ordered a local beer, onion soup (not pictured), and some dish I forgot the name of, but is marked on the menu as "Must for visitors!"  

Everything is okay - the only remarkable thing was the check at the end of the meal for 60 CHF (about 65 USD).  

The waiters carry around portable credit card machines and this one showed two prices - one in CHF and one in USD.  I'm told you should pick your native currency.  I asked why, but forgot the reason.
