Lausanne & Montreux

After having a couple of weeks with extra ordinary weather with temperatures over 25 degrees, getting used to having barbecues and other activities in the sun, the temperature suddenly dropped. Unfortunately this happened just before the weekend, a weekend I was going to spend at a friends place in Lausanne, Switzerland. However the stay turned out to be successful in spite of this, doing some late night drinking and sightseeing. In Lausanne we visited the Olympic museum strolling around the city centre and the lake side esplanade.

Sunday morning we took the ferry bound for Montreaux. Montreux is situated at the opposite side of lac lemon to Genéve and has an amazing boardwalk bordered with palm trees and gardens. At the end of the walk you have the great chateaux Chillon. Interesting to know is perhaps that many classical writers has had Chateaux Chillon as refuge some of them are Lord Byron, Alexandre Dumas and Rousseau just mentioning a few.
