Got up late and went out and found a Dunkin Donuts coffee shop. I ordered the largest cup of coffee and walked to a laundromat to wash my well worn dirty laundry.
I later walked to the beautiful cross shaped Cathedral and photographed it's beautiful stained glassed windows.
Now it's time to prepare for tomorrow's 16 mile shoreline walk to Montreux.

Wait...there's a Dunkin' Donuts in Lausanne? How did my radar miss that one? 😆

Yeah, and the coffee was probably $7. I went to a Starbucks in Geneva and it was $5.65 for a tall black coffee! Had to do it just to say I did it... joining Paris, Kyoto, Basel, London, Lisbon, etc... as places I've had SBUX coffee. (I formerly lived in a Seattle neighborhood where several of my acquaintances are SBUX managers and executives, so they all appreciate my reports from "the field").
 
I have fond memories of visiting that area some 20+ years ago. A bar/restaurant that had motorcycles for chairs. And Castle Chillon some distance south of there was a fabulous place worth touring. Lord Byron's 'The Prisoner of Chillon' being a personal favorite poem.

Never forget sitting on wall outside Castle Chillion and a huge rat ran across my legs , left quickly.

How about Charlie Chaplin’s house and ?… When you pass into the next Canton, Valais, don’t forget to eat a decent FONDUE with excellent Fendant wine.
There is a number of other things to see such as Audrey Hepburn’s house in Tolochenaz (near Nyon), walking to GRUYERE from Vevey..Man I could write a guide for that area as I lived there…
