you'd think a food museum would be my idea of heaven...

unfortunately not. (annoyingly i just wrote this and my firefox froze because of the "how to dress" pdf). the food museum was in vevey, which is about 15 minutes away. there was a fork in the lake outside the museum, and it only just dawned on me that that was because it was outside the food museum. a great concept, but not so great when you have THE most boring tour guide who spends half an hour talking about food 100 years ago. it would have been much better had we been able to run freely on the hamster wheel and read things for ourselves. everyone was SO tired, even irene was stifling yawns, and the boringness hardly helped to be honest! we had ten minutes after the tour to look round the museum and we spent a bit of time taking photos with the fork. haha. i meant to say we also had time in vevey to look at the tea shops and the market, which was really pretty, the music festival was on so there were random groups of people singing/marching bands and there was an air of fun in this strange place...haha. i think i prefer it to montreux, not that i have had the time to properly explore either place! after that we went to lausanne to have free time, i wanted to buy a camera because im sad i can't show you any photos, and i can hardly take my laptop everywhere to take photos like i did in the hotel on my very first night here...everyone was so tired that we spent a lot of time in starbucks just relaxing..after i bought my camera! i got back and we have such a great view, that once the battery was charged and the sun started setting, i took some pics...after running up and down stairs, taking photos, i decided with some of the girls to go to glacier 3000 (if you are ever in the area, its worth going to!) which involved another early start..i organised the trains and went to bed early to prepare for yet another early morning..i dont think the weekend is enough time to recover from the week!!
