Jeunotel Lausanne

As a hotel guest, they give me ticket for free travelling around the city. The city separated by the lake. Almost every shops selling watches. I don't understand why people buy expensive watch which the same value to buy a car. can any one tell me?.

Afetr been working for a whole year, sacrificing family time and my own, the time has come to make a stop at my vacations. Every year, I look for something to make my family remember when we are on vacations.

This year, my mother-in-law wanted to ...

... au dîner ensemble à Café du Grütli, où j'ai eu de la truite et des légumes. Le c'était agréable pour parler l'anglais encore ! Nous avons marché de retour à l'hôtel et avons dit ensemble nos bonnes nuits, après échanger d'e-mail adresse si nous pouvons rester en communication quand nos vacances sont faites.

Jour 2

Aujourd'hui j'ai décidé juste d'explorer la Vieille Ville par le pied. Premièrement, et le plus important, j'ai visit ...

After fall break, my body basically decided that it had had enough. Perhaps it was an allergic reaction to sketching, perhaps an acquired aversion to hostels, who knows. So what did I have planned for that following weekend? Relax, have some soup, and sleep to recover? Of course not, this is me we're talking about. I was all booked to travel again to Geneva, Switzerland. I must say, at the beginning of the year, it sounded like a great idea. We ...

... to go in later than normal today. She would normally have left the house at 5:30 am and that would have been way too early to get up! The house was very cold so we opted to skip showers. We said our goodbyes and made our way to the car. The temperature gauge read 3 degrees C. That’s 37 degrees F!! It was cold! I put on the hat I bought in Amsterdam to cover up the bed head. We are on our way to Lausanne ...

... 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!

... feet hurt, so I sat in the park again and read some more. Then I did some shopping at Coop and then went to a cathedral. I was going to go in and see what was there, but I wasn't sure which entrance was the main one and the ones I tried were locked. So I just sat out front and read some more. Then one of the people from the camp in Leysin walked by and saw me there. That was pretty random. After that, I went to get some lunch. On my way to lunch I checked the Lebara store again and ...

So today we really got to spend some time in the city of Lausanne. It is an amazing city with so many historical buildings and cathedrals. People were strolling the open area to purchase fresh fruits, cheese, bread and antiques in the local market. There was outrageous shopping with notable stores and others that have great items. I'm not buying any clothes here...I already have too much. Then we made ...

We didn't have much time in Switzerland, and it was strife ridden, so we were glad to leave the next morning, and didn't have time for an entry then. We travelled for nine hours to get there, due to messed up tickets, was interesting but long. We ended up soaked in thunderstorm searching for the hostel! C had her camera stolen, and the hostel were the most unfriendly and useless people we'd met so far. the police officer the next morning howver was lovely.

We spent a bit more than a week in Switzerland. Our reasons for visiting were two-fold. Obviously it is a beautiful country with a rich cultural history in its cities, mountainous and rural areas. The other reason was to see my college friend from The Corcoran, Karma and her family. Karma and her husband Bernard and their young daughter Ines treated us like we were family. Even today, weeks later, I am still amazed by the ...
