We caught a Geneva-bound train in Milano, and hopped off at Montreux,
famous for its music festivals. Without too much trouble we found a nice hotel overlooking
Lake Geneva at a reasonable price.

This is one nice place and we enjoyed every minute of it.
The sunsets were nice, too. |

| After a short, unexpected shopping frenzy (I bought a
pocket watch, Tracy bought a Swiss Army Knife, and we both purchased pens that look like
fish), we caught the Crystal Panoramic Express to Gstaad and back. Thanks to Bernice
for suggesting this - it was terrific. Here's the view out the front of the train. |

Gstaad. There was still snow on the mountains above, although it was a
