Late start, had to first get back to Zurich from a party in Basel. It would likely have been an even later start had the police not arrived to shut off the sound. 
I had wanted to get my hair cut before leaving – not just to save weight. Only realized too late that August 1 is a national holiday and most barber shops aren’t open. So much for that. 
To get outside the city limits I took an e-scooter. Started hiking in loaded skies with occasional rain. Zurich doesn’t have much in the way of flyable mountains- too flat, too close to ZRH airport. Trying to get closer to the mountains, I hiked the length of the Albis ridge to Sihlbrugg.
I was tempted to fly down from the ridge towards Hausen, but decided to respect the airspace around the local airfield. 
Great dinner in a Michelin class restaurant. Weather looking lousy the next two days, good thereafter.
