Hello everybody!
Before this blog post starts I just want to say, this post will be my 100th blog post! I seriously can't believe it! 100!!! I just want to say thank you for the continuous support that's kept me going! Anyway... today's blog is a part 2 to a post I did last week so if you haven't read that yet make sure you do before reading this one! It will make a lot more sense. Last time I finished at day three of my holiday, don't worry if you can't really remember what happened because I have a short reminder of where we left off last week...
Day Three summary:
On day three I went to Château de Chillon, followed by an afternoon at the pool. Dinner was at Chez Bilia (Indian restaurant), and then to a Gelateria which ended day three.
Day Four:
To start day four I went to play mini golf with the family! It was so fun and challenging and a great way to start off the day, I was extremely happy (and impressed with myself) because I got a hole in one! It was so amazing to play in surroundings next to the beautiful lake. I bought a salad lunch in a supermarket and had it on a bench over-looking the lake and the breath-taking surroundings. In the afternoon, I tried to go to the pool to relax knowing the weather was quite cloudy, but soon after I arrived, it started raining so I ran back up to the hotel room and chilled there whilst the rain was becoming a thunder storm! I wasn't really annoyed because it was actually nice to have some cozy, chill time to myself. We decided to go to the hotel restaurant for dinner where we enjoyed a three course meal with the dessert course being some delicious Movenpick ice-cream. Yum!
Day Five:
Luckily the sun returned which was a lovely surprise and we decided to hop on a bus to Vevey to go to the market called Marchés folkloriques de Vevey. There was lots to do, buy and see there. I bought some really special crystals that I love! There was local produce for sale, wine tasting, a lively atmosphere with a brass band performing and beautiful surroundings. As I was walking around I noticed a beautiful, old fashioned carousel that looked too good not to go on! I felt like I was in a Disney movie and I also got a few minutes of relaxation, good views, and good photos! I got the bus back to the hotel where I went to the pool since it was so hot. For dinner I went to the Montreux Jazz Cafe which was special because it was my last night. The food was outstanding; particularly the lobster mac 'n' cheese! Mmm, so good!!! That rounded off an amazing day five.
Return day:
Today was the day my family and I had to (sadly) leave Montreux. We got the train from Montreux to Geneva Central. We stopped off because we had some spare time between the next train journey so we had some lunch in a cool hamburger place called Edwards and then got the train from Geneva Central to Geneva Airport where we got ready to leave Switzerland. Like you do in most airports, after clearing security, I went shopping moving from shop to shop with my mum. She looked up at the departures board and saw that our flight was cancelled!! Everyone at this point was angry and confused as to why it had been cancelled. We eventually managed to get a flight, but it was not direct (there wasn't a direct flight until Thursday!). So we get on the plane to a different destination and find our seat, finally feeling relaxed and then a message comes through saying the flight has been delayed for 1 hour and a half!! Late at night, we eventually land and find a hotel near the airport for the night. That was a stressful end to day six.
Return day - attempt number two:
To start this unexpected additional day, we had breakfast in the hotel and we packed our things (again) and head off to the airport. We check our things in, have lunch, shop a little and then get on yet another plane. Luckily this time things go well. Before we know it our holiday in Montreux, Switzerland is over.
I had an absolutely amazing time in Switzerland everywhere we went. I will definitely recommend it to everyone! It was such an amazing experience and I would go back again, any day. I hope you enjoyed! I will see you next week for another blog post! Love you all!
Byyeee!!!!
