Lausanne

M and I took the train to Lausanne yesterday. Nice little place but nothing much to do- a lot of walking up and down hills though!! My poor feet ached so badly at the end of the day 😔

It was only about an hour via train from Gare Cornavin. We got there pretty early so as not to miss the Saturday markets that close by 2pm. Went to see the Cathedrale de Lausanne, then a museum, which was free. Then we walked around the markets and had lunch - empanadas, pitta and ice cream. The markets were selling mainly fresh produce so we did not buy anything but it was still fun to look.

We went to Aquatis, which is a huge aquarium and I can't wait to bring E there when he comes! I think he will like it. We ended that around 3pm and headed to Ouchy to look around the lake and had some nutella crepe. 😋 There's a merry go round and a nice playground- another reason to bring E.

I realised, after awhile, all the places to visit start to look the same and there's nothing left to do till dinner time. So, we have learnt to bring reading materials out so we can find a park and sit down to read...

Dinner was at La Pinte Besson, a small pub with nice fondue. It was my first time with cheese fondue and it's nice but a little too rich. Went home after being "recharged". So glad to be able to rest my aching feet at last...
