Europe Part Dos ( Switzerland. Geneve, Vevey, Montreux )

Well, so from Paris we made our way via bus into Switzerland. I love Switzerland because the people are really friendly and also because it's made up of 70% mountains and 30% civilisation. Or so, the tour guide says. Each town/ city is surrounded by mountains. It was a long journey passing by beautiful Burgundy Vineyards and vast farmlands. We all woke at 5am and had to make a move by 6am in the morning, in order to reach Geneve, where we will be staying for a night. However, along the way we also made mulitple stops at the different cantons/ towns in Switzerland.




Our FIRST stop. The very beautiful town of Lausanne!
We headed to the Olympic Museum. There was also, of course a very magnificient view of the Mountains and sea.


Haha,mom looks so cute here!


And we took the opportunity for some camwhoring moments of course!
Next stop, we headed to the beautiful towns of Vevey and Montreux!
Where we visited the Famous statue of Charlie Chaplin in Vevey, as he lived there once before.
Omg do you know, he married two 16 Year old girls? His third was was 18 and he was 50+!
And we also visited the beautiful historical medieval fortress, The Chilion Castle at Montreux!

Pedophile..lol!

Oh! And in Switzerland, every town has a lake/ Sea. And there are ALWAYS wild swans and ducks! Adorable!



Isn't Switzerland beautiful?

And now, Finally our Last stop for the day. The City of Geneve!

See the train tracks on the street?
Those are for the trams! So cute, because it's so vintage! I like xD

Tram and Cars side by side
A three legged chair, placed outside the UN headquarters based in Geneve
is a reminder to the Big Three (China,Usa,Britian) to sign a contract that many countries
have signed, which is to prevent total usage of landmines.Because it has killed and made
alot of people disabled. The chair will remain there outside the UN,until the Big three has signed the contract.

One of the nicest hotel we stayed in, during the trip.
Ramada, Geneva
