Switzerland Day 6

In the morning we drove back to Lausanne. The weather was good again, so we could admire the beautiful landscape this time. These photos are just snapped from the car, as we didn't have time to stop.




(this one taken by Miles)

After dropping Miles off at the university, I went back to Lake Geneva and surroundings.









When we got to the airport, we found out that our flight had been cancelled and we had to wait until the next flight, which was five hours later just before midnight. So we had to kill hours at the airport. Ugh, oh well - the trip had been perfect until then! Luckily we found Montreux Jazz Café where they had comfortable sofa to sit on, at least. And we could have drinks and food while waiting. But it was boring and annoying nevertheless, as it always is at airports.









With the right person marketing them, I bet I could sell those photos for thousands! ;-)

And then, finally - finally! Head for the gate. The airport was almost empty, and our flight was the last one out that day.

Switzerland Day 4

In the morning I drove Miles to work at EPFL and on the way back stopped to have a look at Lake Geneva.



It happened to be a place called The Pelican Beach.



I drove to Parc aux biches in search of Sauvabelin Tower, but all I found was some birds and pigs.





The pigs were very cute. Reminded me of Zebedee, whom I'm missing a lot.



This photo just had to be taken.



I kept walking around in Sauvabelin Woods back and forth round in circles but still I couldn't find the damned tower. It was a very pleasant walk in the beautiful woods, nevertheless.



After Miles got back from work, we started walking towards Lausanne Old Town.





Graffiti? In Switzerland?! Scandalous!









The day ended with a splendid cheese fondue and plenty of wine. Heaven.
