Montreux & Chateau de Chillon

Montreux and Chateau de Chillon were the last places that Jake and I visited while Nate was working in Geneva. I did not spend much time in the towns because I went to just walk on the promenade and see the views of the lake and the castle!

The city of Montreux. People jump off of this round platform and swim here in the summer... looks like fun!

A fall-colored tree and a ... palm tree? I didn't know there were palm trees in Switzerland!?


Swiss alps and the lake to look at on your left and tennis courts on the right... close to heaven. I just sat there and watched people play because I missed tennis so much!

The entrance to the famous castle on the lake... Chateau de Chillon.

And there it is.... pretty unreal to look at.
The courtyard in front of the castle.
You can see the moat here... I had never seen one of these before!

A sweet girl saw me trying to take a picture of myself with the lake in the background and she could tell it wasn't working, so she offered to take a picture of me and Jake!

The view got even prettier a little later.
This is my favorite picture...
The rest of the pictures were taken on the train ride back home. It was so peaceful as I looked out and listened to my iPod. :)
