CAKE, BOUGHT AND GIVEN

We all like a bit of cake. When the wind is whistling, the drizzle is horizontal and the sky is leaden a coffee and cake fix in Café Felix on the shore of Zürichsee (Lake Zurich) is a must. The choice of patisserie is excellent and I would recommend the 'Waldbeeren'. But as they say everyone to their own.


Waldbeeren and expresso.

It is no understatement to say that Café Felix charges are legendary, mind you in Zurich you can pay much more. That aside, it was good. Meanwhile for the more frugally minded amongst us there is always free cake. The previous day in Basel we came across a very long queue adjacent to the Munster. We thought that can't be a queue for the cathedral. It wasn't. They were giving out free tea?? We asked why. We were told they were doing it for 3 days as long as you had your own cup. That seemed to be the answer. All very strange. After tea was handed out, no we did not have any, they were handing out Ginger Bread Men. Margaret thought tea is one thing but a Ginger Bread Man is another. Into the foray and out she came with......


Margaret looking pleased with her spoils. It was good.
