Translation of zügig

In this email I would like to tell you what occured to me in Italy during the summer vacation last year. So, I went to Italy for four days. First I stayed in Firenze, than I decided to go to Rome.
I almost forgot to tell you, that the water was brown, despite of its name... Anyway, as I was already close to my next destination I went and consulted with a tourguide of Austrian travelers.
In the evening we saw a Dutch couple which we have met in El Calafate (in the Perito Moreno tour and who were with us on the airplane to the Peninsula). We looked for our hotel and it was OK.
