Montreux

So where are we heading off to amongst those snowy fields?
That's right, Montreux.
That tells you just how much of snow this train will trudge through to get you to it's destination, which is right at the top on those mountains overlooking Montreux.
Looks like nice and comfy, this coach.
Train Station
That's where we're staying for the night and as usual, a playground park for My Little One; which is just next to it.
"Hello booooooy!"
So Riviera like, yes?
Boat ride anyone?

Looking back where we walked from...
"Hi Freddy, please meet our Little One...!"
If you came here for the famous Montreux Christmas Market, this is where it'll be at.

Can you imagine driving on that elevated expressway? And what views you'll be getting???
I can't (for the life of me) remember what these are for... Will have to ask my beloved if she can remember...

You want to stay up there?

Fire Dragon!
Stravinsky conducting away
Left Parrot: Do you see any food?
Right Parrot: Food? What? Where?
Sunset over Lake Geneva...

And sunrise...
What are you contemplating, luv?


And finally, we visited Chateu De Chillion (Switzerland's most famous Castle).
The End.

P/S - 3 photos were taken via my Xperia Z3, care to guess which were the ones? :)

Morges

Yours truly has been really busy ever since coming back and settling back to life in KL after some time in GVA. It's certainly time to to get use to ... the more hectic life here in KL. 

Sigh. I miss the super efficient public transport!

Anyway, I'm not done with my Switzerland photo collection ... yet! So where are we off to this time?
 Morges...
 With My Little One, long distance trips are a problem as he doesn't like to sit still... So, around 1 hour is the most he can handle and therefore, Morges fit this criteria very well.

Being a Saturday, there's the morning market that we came across.
 Does this architecture look familiar?


 At the pier which was foggy and cold and so, Little One didn't enjoy this trip at all...
Most probably the main attraction is this: Military Museum which also used to be a castle. Sadly, it was closed when we went there...
 The below was a very interesting building which we sadly, have no idea what's it's historical significance is as I can't find any reference to it on Google's Maps. Why? Besides the Castle, this has a tower... and most buildings, are just 'plain Jane' ... until you come across this one:
The End.

Neuchatel - Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption

One of the sights that will greet you once you exit the University tunnel is this Basilica just down the road.
It's made of red clay / earth and as such, very distinct in Neuchatel.















The End.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Palace Museum of Korea & Going Home

Just before heading home, we visited this site: Gyeongbokgung Palace. Unfortunately, while it looks nice and sunny, it isn't! It...
