Day 2. Heathrow Airport & Lausanne, Switzerland

Here is Julie and Mel at the Heathrow airport. At a place
called Giraffe's. Not many choices for food there in London airport.


Julie and I on the train after arriving in Switzerland.


When Julie found out she got her own little section in the hotel
room, she was VERY happy!


going up the very small elevator to our room. We look a little
bushed.

The name of our hotel in Luasanne.

Sunday, April 4th was spent flying, layover in London's Heathrow

airport,flying some more, and also getting settled into our hotel

room in Luasanne, Switzerland. We traveled through the night, and

lost about 9 hours. The flight was pretty good, but it was a little

squished in the plane. Thank heavens for movies during the

flight. They helped the 10 hour flight seem a little shorter.

When we arrived in Geneva, we found the train that would

take us to Luasanne. It was fascinating to me, to hear all the

people speaking French. I have a weird way of thinking. I

almost felt like the people were just pretending. I thought "How

can they really talk like that all the time? And, how do they

understand it?" I know.....weird. But the train was smooth, and

pretty fast. The hotel was very close to the train station, so we

walked to the Hotel. The train system in Switzerland amazed me

as well. With all the mountains, I'm surprised that you can use

such a system. But they have got it ALL figured out. There is

a LOT of walking going on in Europe also. No wonder why there

aren't many overweight people. Besides the fact that food is so so

so so so expensive. I've figured it out. Food is a luxury to them.

They can only buy what they need to get by. Anyway, we arrived

to the Hotel Elite, slept very well and were happy to begin our

time in Switzerland.
