Lausanne -18th June

Alors , trip started on Sunday morning 18th for Lausanne from Paris with

out any plan for next 7-8 days to be done in Swiss. On Friday and

Saturday we made few calls to our friends to get an idea about the top

attractions in the Switzerland. Santanu got some print out from work

MySwitzerland.com about Post Bus.

He reluctantly noted one hotel address for Interlaken and booked one B&B

for Sunday night around Lausanne. The train journey from Paris was not

much event full as Santanu slept most of the time and I enjoyed the

French country side while listening to music. Thanks to Santanu for

getting the I-Pod while he was snoring mildly.

On getting down at railway station we got all the information about top

sights to be visited in Lausanne from very helpful tourist office but as

it was Sunday the main Railway information center was closed so we could

not plan anything for next day. Lausanne being a small city by northern

part of Lake Geneva, home of Olympic Museum and Swiss court of Justice.

We spent that whole afternoon walking up and down its walkway. Starting

our walk along the lake side from Olympic park to Château d’Ouchy. From

there we went to Gothic Cathedral via central market after visiting

Esplanade de Montbenon. It was bit long walk ascending all the time to

the hill top.

While descending we realized the B&B that we booked was very far so we

asked about hotels in tourist office and they found us some thing nice

close to Olympic museum. After having bath we just walked along the lake

shore which was very pleasant & relaxing. But the nice evening walk was

very short lived as Santanu realized he does not have his wallet with

him for which we had to make a sudden U-turn and walk fast back to

hotel. Thank God it was such a relief to find it lying on the bed. We

ended up having dinner in nearby lakeside restaurant.
