A Perfect Saturday in Gundeli at Güterstrasse

The perfect Saturday starts with breakfast at Café Del Mundo at Güterstrasse 158 (find an article from Annabelle about Del Mundo here). Me and LordYo, my sweetheart can be found there almost every Saturday morning. Saturdays they have a wonderful brunch with the perfect croissants and very yummy Birchermuesli! It's always crowded so be there early to reserve a seat or be ready to wait.

After breakfast you can go to Tarzan, the trendy clothes store which is right opposite of Del Mundo at Güterstrasse 145 to buy some cool T-Shirts or Hoodies. Great design, fun to wear! They also have cool Pixelart posters, if you want to hang something cool in your office.

If you want to buy the IPod fitting your Aqua blue Tarzan hoodie, you can go to Ingeno, the Apple store at Güterstrasse 133 or to MediaMarkt at the rear end of the SBB Train station, which is only a few steps away from Ingeno. Ingeno also has state of the art Apple stuff, so if you want to see real good product design, go there! You can also find trendy laptop bags and backpacks there!

Too fat to fit into the S size Tarzan hoodie? Viva Training at Güterstrasse offers a new approach to fitness for those ladies tired of overcrowded gyms and gawking Arnolds. Viva Training has a holistic approach which includes 3 times weekly 30 Min. training at special facilities designed for the female build (plus optional 30 Min Hypoxi-Training) plus Cooking Shows where you can learn to cook healthy. The training machines are in a circle around an illuminated cube on the ceiling, which shows you (red/green) when you have to start at a machine and when to stop. In between the sessions at the training facilities you jump on a trampolin! I train at Viva and I really like it, the atmosphere is relaxed and it is great fun to work out there.

Need a massage after your training at Viva? If they say that nothing's for free, that's wrong. Migun offers free massages on their massaging machines at Güterstrasse 138. I wish my employer would buy one of these machines... so, don't get scared by the machine and the cyberbuddhist monastery like incense-filled ambiance, it works!

Now that your body is toned and pampered, what about some soothing of the soul? Check out the Esoteric store Mineral Island at Güterstrasse 141, where you'll find many semiprecious stones with magical healing powers... If you want more down to earth wellbeing, why not go to the hairdressers? Walk all the way up Güterstrasse until Number 201 at Tellplatz and check in at MiniPrix Coiffure Hair Salon. A cut only costs 20 Francs (coloration is also 20 Francs) and the young and trendy hairdressers are great and very upbeat. As MiniPrix does not take reservations, you'll have to wait for your turn like in a classic barbershop, but the diverse waiting crowd reduces the waiting time considerably.

So much for the beauty outside. If you want to eat healthy step in next door to the Organic Food Shop Vitalis at Güterstrasse 201 and buy some healthy stuff for lunch, as the morning is over!
