LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND

Cold and rainy…welcome to Lausanne, Switzerland. We arrived around 4, after spending 4 hours on the train, being served just like the airlines, but with better food and wine. As we’re traveling, what do we hit but SNOW!!!!! Betty was excited….I was crying inside.

After an hour nap, we finally arrived in Lausanne. Our hotel was just up the block from the train station, but we took a cab since we all had 2 big bags.

We should have skipped Switzerland…at first I thought I would be better traveling 2 four-hour days, but after having to drag the luggage, we should have gone right to Milano. I mentioned this to Anna a couple of weeks before we left, but she said that Regina was going there too, so, we go to Switzerland.

Betty and I went out for dinner…Anna was with Regina and her daughter. Most of the restaurants were closed for Good Friday, but we did find another…Italian restaurant.

Saturday morning we headed out, in the rain, to see Lake Geneva and the old town. After a couple of hours, we headed back to the hotel to gather our things and head to the station. (Betty and I had stored 2 bags which was a big help!)

Still raining, struggling with our suitcases, Betty finally did it!!! Got us smoking…(cold breath, not cigarettes).

Scenery through Switzerland is beautiful. Betty was jumping from one side to the other to see the sights. Two more hours and we’ll be in Milano.

Hello Italy!!!
