Chapter 12

After an eight-and-a-half-hour flight, they landed at Zurich Airport 10 minutes earlier than planned. After collecting their luggage, they went to their hotel, which is only 4 minutes from the airport, and checked in. Caleb had his own room on the 1st floor, the others had rooms on the 2nd floor. After Caleb settled in, he went up to the 2nd floor and looked for his dad's room. He knocked on the door and Stella opened it for him. "Hey, are you settled in yet?" Stella asked. "Yeah, it's only for one night." Caleb said, sitting down on the king bed. "Aren't you going to the museum?" Kelly asked, who now came from the next room. Then there was a knock on the door and Caleb opened it. "Hey, you're still here. I thought you were going straight to the museum?" Matt asked. Caleb rolled his eyes. "Did you agree that you would all ask me the same question?" he asked. "Sorry, didn't know the question had already come up." Matt said. "Doesn't matter. Um, I wrote with Niran. He would show us around on the first day." Caleb said. "Niran, isn't that one of your friends from International soccer Camp?" Kelly asked. "Yes, exactly. He and his two sisters would show us around a bit." Caleb said. "Well, I think it's a good idea. The three of them know some nice places that we can take a closer look at." Stella said. "Yes sure. Why not." Kelly said. "Good. Then I'll text him and let him know and we can discuss the rest when we've landed and settled into the hotel." Caleb said, pulling out his cell phone. "How long do you think you'll be at the museum?" Kelly asked, putting fresh clothes on Lydia. "I don't know yet. The museum is quite big, divided into 2 or 3 floors I think." Caleb said. "I'm just asking so we can plan how we're going to spend the evening." Kelly said. Caleb eyed the little ones. "Honestly. From the looks of the little ones, we won't be able to do too much tonight." Caleb said. "He's right about that." Matt laughed. "Can we go to the zoo now?" Layla asked. "Yes, please." Benjamin and Matty begged. "I have to go now too. I'll call or text you." Caleb said. "Well, have fun." Kelly said. "Thanks. You too." Caleb said and left the room. "I can't believe how quickly Caleb has grown up." Stella said. "Yes, especially when you think about the fact that he almost didn't make it when he was a baby." Sylvie said. "We're not going to think about that anymore. Caleb is fine and having a nice day today. By the way, we should go too. The little ones are getting jittery." Matt said. 'Matt is right. Kids come on, let's go." Kelly said. "Daddy, can I take Monkey with me?" Benjamin asked, holding his stuffed monkey in his arms. «Yes, of course, but don't lose him again. You know what happened the last time we went to the zoo and you took one of your stuffed animals with you." Kelly said. "I'll hold him tight in my arms." Benjamin said, hugging his stuffed monkey tightly. "Understood. Then let's go." Kelly said. Stella put Lydia in the stroller and buckled her up. At the front desk, Kelly asked how to get to the zoo. The gentleman at the reception explained the way to them and gave them a city map with the tram lines and a zoo map. At the airport train station, they boarded the train in the direction of Zurich main station and from there they took the tram to the zoo. Stella looked at the zoo map with Kayla and Layla. In the meantime, Kelly has received a WhatsApp message from Caleb. "What is it?" Stella asked when she saw Kelly smile. "Nothing at all. K just sent me a picture. Apparently, he doesn't just have a friend from the soccer camp in Thailand." Kelly said and showed her the photo.

Arrived at the zoo, they showed their tickets and got a first overview. "Okay kids. You all stay close to us. We don't want to have to search for any of you at the end." Matt admonished the little rascals. Kayla and Layla held the stroller, Matt took his son's hand and Kelly his son's. 

Meanwhile, Caleb arrived at the FIFA World Football Museum with his Swiss buddy, Noah. The two showed their tickets at the entrance and went inside. The museum extends over 4 floors. The two looked at everything very carefully and stayed in the museum for several hours. "What do you think, will the Swiss ever become world champions?" Caleb asked. "Honestly, not in the next 100 years. But let's see, maybe one day we'll be surprised." Noah said. "Hey, who knows, maybe one day you'll shoot Switzerland to the world championship title." Caleb said and the two had to laugh. "Come on, here you can dance the various goal celebrations." Noah said, standing in front of a screen.
