A Day At The Lake - Lac Léman


Since I bought a few SBB Tageskarten for Monday July 23rd, we planned on going to the Lake Geneva and on our way back we would visit the castle in Gruyères. That was the plan. We took the train from Bern to Lausanne, then the metro from the railway station down to the boat-stop, hopped on the boat going south and after a boat ride of about 1,5 hours or so we hopped off again, in Montreux.

And as best laid plans often do, the plan changed! We ended up staying in Montreux for the rest of the day, the air & water temperature was just right, the kids wanted to swim in the lake, and so they did. We even rented a paddle boat and I think they all had a blast floating on the lake. We finished the day with a meal at the local McDonalds before we headed back to Bern by train.
