9/14/08 Montreux Switzerland
As we drove towards Montreux I was awed by the Swiss Alps. These mountains seem to go up almost forever into the sky. I even had to tilt my head back to see the tops. Little towns dot all the mountain sides while waterfalls crash down and turn to vapor as they fall from the sheer cliffs. The roads are narrow and the bus seems to be way to large for them, but some how we make it through the Alps to Montreux. We arrive late, almost at twilight and Montreux looks picturesque along the shores of lake Geneva. After dinner Kris and I go for a walk along the shore, it’s cold and we can see our breath as we talk. Eventually we come across a large statue of Freddie mercury covered in flowers and expensive champagne bottles. We take a few pictures and then head back to the hostel.
