Limmat Float to Climbing and Truffle Raclette

Walked the bike path to swim and jump off a bridge in the Limmat, then floated downstream with a tube and dry bag for an hour and a half to two hours. Hit the climbing gym for two hours of climbing before taking the streetcar downtown for truffle raclette and lava cake.
