| To
start the Euro tour off, The Hippy Gourmet flew into Zurich,
Switzerland via Swiss International Airlines. It was an amazingly
smooth flight all the way from Los Angeles, arriving twelve
hours later we were rested and ready start our adventures. |

Zurich
is a bustling city founded back in the thirteenth century,
its origins date back to a Roman trading post. Zurich is
a naturally beautiful place, surrounded by the snow capped
Alps that feed Lake Zurich and its flowing tributaries.

While
in Zurich, we were fortunate enough to visit with Walter
Alfare at Gate Gourmet and get a backstage
glimpse of the gourmet services catering to the top airlines,
including Swiss of course.
