We're going to do this photo again, Allan is actually standing in front of the castle & you can't see the mountains that well (Home Exchange garden)
The skies cleared and the sun came out on the morning we
were leaving Zurich. The drive to
Montreux was beautiful with the Alps constantly in view. As we drove into
Montreux we realized how much of a beautiful place we would be staying, the
mountains surround us with Lake Geneva settled in the middle.
Our home exchange is FANTSTIC! The apartment has specular
views of Lake Geneva and Chateau de Chillon.
There is a lovely garden and private play park for the little kids to
play.
We had some lunch and spent the afternoon exploring the
lakefront. With the sun shinning and the
beautiful surrounding we walked about 6km past the castle and into the next
village. We stopped several times along
the way to play in the parks, drink from the fountains (Leo) and skim stones in
the lake. The lake is clear, clean and
calm. We had a great time enjoying a
beautiful spring day in Switzerland.
Montreux is basically on the Swiss/French boarder. Several of the pictures of mountains taken
from our apartment are of the French Alps.
The ferries in the Lake have a Swiss flag on the back and a French flag
on the front. This part of Switzerland
speaks French unlike Zurich, which speaks Swiss-German.
