No Comments Lausanne
Today I went out to explore Lausanne and buy a few bits I needed – just some milk, tea-towels, a new purse.. It’s a really interesting place. It’s pretty big – we’re living right on the outskirts, and it took about 20 minutes to drive into the centre, it would be double that at least by public transport. But it’s also very beautiful. There’s a lot of nice old buildings in a typically French style, with ornate balconies, cute shutters, and winding staircases. The whole city is basically on three levels, and it’s on a very steep slope going down to lake Geneva (such a steep slope that my ears popped driving from our house to the town). So anyway, today’s one short shopping trip almost killed me. In fact it wasn’t shopping, it was more like mountain climbing. In 30+ degree heat.
On the plus side, I’m expecting to return to the UK with legs as strong as alpine cows and a goat-like nimbleness :p
