We were dropped off at Hotel Storchen again and we strolled over towards the train station where we hoping to get conveyer belt sushi. The strasse along which we walked was very posh and above out price range. The signs are still pictorial and its fun to see the interpretations. We visited the National Museum which housed displays of stained glass, rings of all kinds, medieval furnishings, the history of the Swiss tourism industry and pre-history artifacts. Here we received our first Senior discount, being 60 pays off! We walked home through a park in which small groups of people were gathered. They were eating, drinking, playing some sort of dice game and generally having a great time.
