Montreux

---

Caught the train from Interlaken to Switzerland and arrived to meet Brad and Sarah at the station! It was great to see them! Caught the bus up to a nice hotel although it was so hot and the air con wasn’t working which made life uncomfortable.

The 2 days I spent in Montruex were when the Montreux Jazz Festival was on. The town had a great vibe and there were plenty of locals and tourists walking the streets and markets. I was disappointed that there really didn’t seem to be too much jazz, but on the 2nd night I was there Brad, Sarah and I went and saw an African show that was quite amazing, I loved seeing Angelique Kidjo and Youssef N’ Dour. It was air conditioned inside which was a bonus and I did spend some time sitting in the comfy swiss ‘Fly’ chairs, because I had a heat rash in my feet and they were quite sore. They had a live recording on a big screen just outside the hall which was good as it was a 4 hour show.

During the rest of the time in Montreux we took a ferry and saw the Chateau De Chillon and then walked from there back to Montreux which was a beautiful walk looking over Lake Geneva.

I had an awesome time in Switzerland, and I have decided that it is one of my favourite countries in the world that I have seen so far. The scenery is spectacular!
