From one end to the other

ImageToday we left lovely Schaffhausen and came to Vevey via Winterthur and Lausanne. It's a pretty train ride from Lausanne to Vevey, along Lake Geneva. Our hotel's in Lally, just below Les Pléiades (1400m) so we had to take the cogwheel train up. The view at Les Pléiades is breathtaking, with a view of the Alps and Lake Geneva. The owner of the hotel we stayed in, Agnes tells us that she is having a barbecue dinner for 35 CHF per person, which comes up to S$180, so we declined. Instead, we did some grocery shopping for our dinner at Blonay, which is halfway down and came right back up cos the last train to Les Pléiades is around 7pm. Back at the hotel, shocker of shockers, Agnes says that "this isn't a picnic place" and that we cannot eat in our own rooms. We thought maybe she's sour grapes cos we didn't take up her barbecue offer so we thought whatever. Thankfully we had a terrace that had a lovely view of the mountains and Alps so we stood outside and ate there. We proceeded to burn our calories and hiked up to Les Pléiades. It was worth it.
