I've been there twice, in summer and winter and I loved it both.
Each season has different color and Rapperswil is a great place to chill out.
The boat trip from Zürich to Rapperswil is absolutely a worth trip.
Sunbathing on the deck, feeling the crisp wind... before your eyes there is a great view of Swiss Alps.
It's about 2 hours trip from Zürich Bükliplatz to Rapperswil and stops a few stations.
Just like we can watch a movie in 2 hours, my boat trip was full of dramas.
I met an old lady from "Küsnacht" (literally it means "kiss night", such a cute name for a town!)
She has been living there for decades but she was still enjoying the delightful sunset at the lake as if it were her first time to see it.
We talked a lot.
She also told me with her shiny eyes how wonderful to walk Swiss Alps.
When we arrived at Küsnacht, we hugged and greeted "Schönen Abend" ("have a nice evening" in German) each other.
I saw a woman reading a book in suit... was she aware of the picturesque view in front of her? I believe she was.
What a brilliant commuting time!
Some people use the boat to go to work, shopping, visiting friends and sightseeing etc.
Come to think of it, sometime I myself could see Mt. Fuji from the train in Tokyo when it's a reasonable sunny day.
It makes me happy and I'm sure it's not only me to feel like that.
Sometime our ordinary life look very special from the different point of view.
Isn't this sweet and funny?
We just need to open our senses a bit more and then soon we'll realize something new or something different.
One small shock.
It's just like static in winter.
