Tuesday was a travel day. Took a car from EBI down to Heathrow, with a driver that seemed almost pathologically averse to using the motorways--I went through more roundabouts in that one trip than I've been in the whole of my life to date. That's not hugely bad, as I got in with plenty of time, and got to see the insides of rather a lot of English towns an villages. That was nice.
The flight to Zurich was uneventful. I think I rather like British Air.
The ride from the airport to the hotel was fun. Zurich is an old city, built on the side of a mountain, and it's got the most... interesting geography of any city I've been in to date. The architecture's lovely, but if you go anywhere you're likely to change elevation by a few dozen meters, even if it's just a walk to the local supermarket.
Anyway, after settling down I wandered over to our meeting room and downloaded (though not answered) all my mail from the past few days. Then it was off to dinner and bed. I think, luckily, that I've managed to not get hit with much in the way of jet lag.
