A lazy rest day in Lausanne

[Bob from L.A. !]

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.

Take tram down to Ouchy and ferry across to Evian.

I walked to Ouchy earlier. I wish I had more time here. It really is a great city.

Wait. You're in Lausanne and you went to a Dunkin Donuts?
Bob.
Bon chemin, anyway.

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

 

[Bob from L.A. !]

I "needed" an American large cup of coffee ️!

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.

Castle Chillion is on tap for tomorrow as well as the Freddie Mercury statue

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.

Valais

And fruit. Maybe a tad early, but its apricots...
delicious.

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

Try the Office de Tourisme located in Ouchy near the lake.

 

[Bob from L.A. !]

The tourist office or the main Cathedral are your best bet.
Enjoy!

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…
