Rue Centrale Villars-sur-Ollon, Vaud, Switzerland, CH-1884, 41-0-24-496-37-37
It was a little bittersweet leaving Bern this morning. I've grown to feel very comfortable in this city, but am looking forward to some quiet, slower-paced times for the next few days. The trip to Villars is quite a jaunt - train from Bern to Lausanne, change trains and go from Lausanne to Bex, then a tiny BVB cog train climbs a big hill from Bex to Villars, stopping at a few tiny villages on the way up. First of all, the area around Lake Geneva between Lausanne and Montreux is GORGEOUS!! Hil...

... for my congested ears and throat. I noted that none were antibiotics and again inquired about obtaining a prescription for one. He said no, I didn't need that. So off I went to pay my bill. Yes, that's right.. my bill. Seems socialized medicine is not free as Michael Moore would have you all believe. My visit cost $200. From there I called a cab and off I went to the 24 hr. pharmacy and was separated from another $100.

Demain matin, Je prendrai le train de retour à Geneve, et la mouche de retour aux Etats-Unis. Je souhaite que je pourrais dépenser plus de temps dans Lausanne, parce que le c'est ma ville préférée des vacances. J'ai voulu visiter la Suisse à parce que de la beauté, naturelle et fabriqué par l'homme, de la nation, et je me sens comme j'a jeté un coup d'oeil à juste cette beauté de la nation, mais je planifie sur revenir ici un jour.

Not entirely shure, if I spend my last day in a foreign country, I head towards north. A stopover at Novi Ligure provides me finally the opportunity to send a notification to all family and friends about my remaining itinerary before return back home. The date has been fixed to the 29.
The ride up to Vercelly in the low lands was not that exciting like the sighting of the mountain of Mont Blanc in the far. Since my ...
... into MacD's and decided a big mac meal for 6 euros would hit
the spot. This was a very unique McDonalds, done up in
mountaineering theme and was located out of the way, as for 2 ½
visits to Chamonix, I did not know it was there. After lunch I
wandered around town for a bit as it started to brighten. Back to
the room to read and ready for dinner, although I was not hungry
after the meal at the arches. I headed out for dinner, still not
hungry and after seeing a ...
From there we drove from Switzerland to Chamonix, France. For all you skiers out there, this would be a wicked ski vacation. It’s a true little French ski town and the mountains looks insanely steep. The food is melted cheese, potatoes and bacon. Yes, heart attack in a casserole dish. Yummy. We also had a fun encounter with the Chamonix Gendarmerie... Jon drove up a one way street by mistake. There was construction and it was ...
Chamonix, Rhône-Alpes, France sofenjon... Point, only to discover that there was no cheap accomodation left and the only places available was 4 and 5 star hotels. So long chat on the phone to Lucy's mum and she said she would pay for us to stay in a nice hotel and send her the bill. What a treat! Lausanne was a really charming city with an excellent atmosphere and wonderfully clean air. So despite staying there for a short peroid of time, I cant wait to go back!

We woke up to a beautiful, crystal clear (but COLD) morning in Villars. "Breakfast" was brought to our room, which consisted of delicious coffee and OJ, a couple croissants and practically an entire loaf of bread. Holy cow, these French people eat piles of bread; I don't know how they get by (yes, I know they're not really FRENCH, but you know ...

Eric, I hope you had a good time bro, it was fun travelling with you and I will miss your company. Good luck teaching high schoolers math (I still can't believe he got a job teaching math to high schoolers, what is the world coming to?).
