Woke up to a sunny day for our trip to Lausanne. The trains are amazing, they run on time and no routing to a place you weren’t planning on going. Air Canada could take a few lessons. We arrived in Lausanne after about 45 minutes, we then had to take the Metro to “Ouchy” which is right on the lake. As luck would have it we walked out of the metro and crossed the street turned around and there was our hotel. After checking in we headed for the walk way along the lake which would take us to the Olympic park. Lausanne is beautiful with the blue water, greenery and flower with of course the mountains in the background. We arrived at the Olympic park to find out that the museum is closed for reno’s till 2013. However we were able to walk the ground and see the artwork and they had set up a small exhibit so we could whet our appetite. We were able to see the metals and torches of past Olympics, as well as the metals and torch for London 2012. In the afternoon we travelled to old town, to tour around and saw the castle and the biggest church in Switzerland. We were hoping for some shopping however for some reason not known to us it was window shopping only. Easy on the pocket book. Then it was down to our hotel to rest and then head out for supper.
