Construction

Ze Swiss are either having too much money, and/or a love for construction work. Probably both thinking about it. Ever since I moved here there has been one dug up street after the other. Cranes everywhere. Blocked off roads. The last one is the river Limmat, which I noticed taking a stroll there with bro. They have more or less drained an arm of the river (ah gosh, does it stink!!) so that we now can enjoy the rusty bicycles, Migros trolleys and trash in general while walking along. Water is probably around 3 dm, and you can clearly see the bottom. But it was indeed a bit funny to see the stairs that normally lead into the water at the swim place hanging in the air. About 3 meters above the water. Wouldn't suggest diving in now! The good thing is they have built pillars in the water, creating a cafe/bar on a platform on the river itself. This is gonna be great in summer! And it's only about 10 min walk from my place. Cannot wait!
