If you are a single American girl in the ten-year old age bracket, might I suggest any of Zurich’s many swimming areas as a great place to meet friends.
After a leisurely trip from the river out onto the lake in a howlowcanyougo river boat (that’s not a drawbridge ahead of us), we spent yet another day at the Swimmbad. What was meant to be a quick dip turned into an all day affair after Maya befriended two lovely Dutch sisters, age 10 and 6. The girls were visiting their Spanish cousin who lives here (he’s a banker, as you had assumed, no doubt).
The girls swam for hours, played volleyball, and ate slushies to their heart’s content. As a bonus, I got to play ping pong as well!
We ended the day with a BBQ before taking the tram back into town…we had long since missed the last boat of the day.
