On our way from Munich to Luzern, we chose to drive some side roads to get over a mountain pass instead of going the Autobahn. It was lunchtime, and we were thirsty and hungry for lunch.

Our room at the end of the hallway was...

Unbelievably easy to get to by public transport from Zurich airport - less...
