I went to Switzerland for 5 days with Evita and we had an excellent time but I guess the pictures speak for themselves.</p> <p>We left London on Saturday evening, flew with Sl-eazyjet (flight got delayed for a change...) Anyways, after we got to Geneva we took a train to Lausanne where Sara picked us up and we had our first McDonalds - welcome to Switzerland! /by the way the fries suck./</p> <p>Next morning we got up early and took the bus to Ouchy and then had a lovely cruise on Lake Geneva to Montreux. I kept posing for pictures non-stop, in the evening neither of the girls wanted to take any more photos of me haha. We walked a lot during the day and when we got home I discovered that I got the worst sunburn ever therefore for the next three days I couldn't wear short sleeved even though it was really hot...</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670502" title="Sara, Evita and me"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/502/1670502_8f7831409c_m.jpg" alt="Sara, Evita and me" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><br> <a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670503" title="Ouchy - Lake Geneva"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/503/1670503_732210208f_m.jpg" alt="Ouchy - Lake Geneva" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><br> <a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670504" title="Look!

Nice.</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670538" title="Lausanne High street"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/538/1670538_37ef0c79ea_m.jpg" alt="Lausanne High street" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><br> <a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670539" title="Lausanne Cathedral"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/539/1670539_d6a438582e_m.jpg" alt="Lausanne Cathedral" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><br> <a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670540" title="Evita and me going a bit mad..."><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/540/1670540_0ae2976436_m.jpg" alt="Evita and me going a bit mad..." vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><br> <a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670541" title="Here we go again...

I tell you that Le Gruyere is the place to go. After tasting cheese in the factory we walked up the hill to the castle and had a lovely late lunch. Everything was superb except the big fat cow waitress who was the perfect example why we detest the French. However all in all people were quite helpful and nice.</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670601" title="Always have time for showing off... :)"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/601/1670601_bd98259032_m.jpg" alt="Always have time for showing off... :)" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670602" title="I took this pic from the train.... moooooo"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/602/1670602_aacc2756c5_m.jpg" alt="I took this pic from the train.... moooooo" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670603" title="Erm... no comment"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/603/1670603_5e7fc66a28_m.jpg" alt="Erm... no comment" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670604" title="The medieval village - Le Gruyere"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/604/1670604_13afe4daaf_m.jpg" alt="The medieval village - Le Gruyere" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670605" title="A cool pub in the village."><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/605/1670605_6453bd5b57_m.jpg" alt="A cool pub in the village." vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670606" title="Yay it is lunch time and of course fondue is on the menu!"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/606/1670606_ada375fa21_m.jpg" alt="Yay it is lunch time and of course fondue is on the menu!" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670607" title="In the castle with Evita"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/607/1670607_90c8bc587f_m.jpg" alt="In the castle with Evita" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670608" title="With a beautiful newfoundland dog in the village."><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/608/1670608_7e06f85f05_m.jpg" alt="With a beautiful newfoundland dog in the village." vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p>Unfortunately Sara couldn’t come with us to Geneva on Wednesday because she had to do some work on her project. After our tearful good bye at the station (not really…) we took the train to Geneva. One of the highlights of the day was the United Nations tour, it was very interesting to see where all these important people work and hold their meetings. Then we walked around the city centre, climbed a few hundred stairs up to the top of the Cathedral but the view was definitely worth it. </p> <p>Brilliant time - 5 out of 5 stars <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> Can’t wait to go back and next time I wanna see Zurich!</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670635" title="The broken leg of the chair represents the damage caused by landmines."><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/635/1670635_ae827bcd5a_m.jpg" alt="The broken leg of the chair represents the damage caused by landmines." vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670636" title="Geneva - View from the cathedral"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/636/1670636_43b1f2f2a6_m.jpg" alt="Geneva - View from the cathedral" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1670637" title="Saying good-bye to the lake and Switzerland.... will be back soon x"><img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/637/1670637_9507eb1850_m.jpg" alt="Saying good-bye to the lake and Switzerland.... will be back soon x" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p><strong>* If you liked this, you might want to check out my other blog on <a href="http://www.sweetpea-robbie.blog.co.uk">http://www.sweetpea-robbie.blog.co.uk</a> Cheers! </strong>* </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://sweetpea-in-switzerland.blog.co.uk/2007/06/08/title~2418169/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
