It was a gorgeous day here in Lausanne! We started off by walking down to Ouchy, which is the port here in Lausanne. It is a very beautiful area, lined with hotels, shops, and restaurants, and a waterfront park for people to enjoy the views of the lake (and even France from across the way)!

We hung out around the waterfront for awhile, just walking around, admiring the views, and also enjoyed a picnic lunch.

After lunch, we went to the Olympic Museum. As mentioned in the previous post, Lausanne is home to the International Olympic Committee, so what better place to have an Olympic Museum?

Needless to say, this was one of the best museums we've ever been to! It was very interactive, told great stories, and there was so much cool content to see (like the Olympic flame, all of the different torches, and all of the medals). It was also very inspirational. If you ever decide to visit Lausanne, you
must go to this museum.

After the museum, we walked around and saw the Thai Pavilion, which is the biggest Thai pavilion in Europe. Random I know, but it was cool to see!
We then slowly made our way back to our room to rest up, stopping to only admire more views, walk around a 5-star hotel, and to pick up some tasty treats.
Tomorrow we set off for Bern, Switzerland! We're looking forward to seeing what the city is all about!
