Travel Day to Lausanne

Yesterday was largely a travel and chore day. We checked out of the hotel in Grindelwald, caught the train to Interlocken, and then settled in for a long scenic train ride on the Golden Pass Express to Lausanne.

Laura hustled off to the Laundromat, while Caty and I took the metro over to Ouchy and checked into our hotel. We had a simple lunch at a Kebab stand, and walked along the pier looking at boats on lake Geneva, and seeing the Olympic clock.

Shortly after Laura rejoined us, it was time to take Caty over to Geneva to catch her flight to Rome to spend the next few weeks in Italy with her dad. I seem to have caught my obligatory vacation-cold, so I stayed in the hotel for a nice nap. When Laura made it back, we enjoyed dinner at the hotel's restaurant. You can definitely tell we've arrived in the French-speaking portion of Switzerland, as the menu changed from sausage/potatoes to a more varied selection. We enjoyed a bottle of wine alongside dinner, which made it a great meal.

After dinner we took a brief stroll along the waterside before calling it a night.もっと詳しく
