| | Today I awoke to clear skies and sunshine. The last few days of clouds and rain seem to be over and what perfect timing, as today I took a boat cruise on Lake Geneva from Lusanne to Montreux and Chateau Chillon. The water was like glass and all the mountains surrounding the lake were crystal clear. It was a nice hour long ride to Montreux and I could have continued on to Chillon, but decided I should take the bus to make sure that the info in the book was correct. I have already visited Chillon once before, 3 years ago when Candi and I were in Switzerland. Its a nice old castle perched right on the lake. I took some great pictures, but unfortunetly, you will have to wait to see them. I made a quick trip through the castle, then hopped the bus back to Montreux to check the book listings. One of the hotels had closed, so I had to find another in the same price range, not easy since this is a resort for the rich and famous, and everything in this town is pretty expensive. I found one place that seemed ok, at least it was fairly cheap. Now I am waiting to hop a train for Zermatt, my next destination. I have always wanted to see the Matterhorn in person. I hope the weather holds out, as it would suck to get there and not see the mountain. |
