Sunday

Roy and I decided to drive to Ouchy, Lausanne to ride our scooters along the esplanade and take advantage of the nice weather by the lake. As the days get warmer, the shores of Lake Geneva get busier with people riding bikes, roller-blading, strolling and having a nice sit down to enjoy the magnificent views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountain ranges. There's also a market at Ouchy on Sunday's - albeit a small one, but nice to have a wander and a browse. Today there was a small book fair with some rather overpriced, old books (not too many in English).

There's a regular store on Sunday's that stocks English treats which - luckily for us, stocks vegemite and a few other things we miss from Australia. We decided to indulge in a Crunchie. Mmmmm...


There are lots and lots of flowers around and the grass is super, super green. It's so beautiful here in Spring.





After we soaked in all the sun, lake views and scooter riding that we wanted, we scooted back to our little Panda and drove into the centre of Lausanne and went to a Design Museum to check out an exhibition of Stefen Sagmeister. It was really interesting and to see the stuff in person was great since until now, I had only been able to admire his work on the internet and in books.

After the museum we wandered some more around Lausanne and talked to a cat who was sitting on a nice little window cat ledge above us. He was looking around at the view below him and once he spotted us he watched us as we watched him and he talked to us when we talked to him. A very social cat indeed and it looked like a nice spot for him to be sitting.


The rest of our Sunday afternoon is being spent with the sun shining in the windows, a couple of beers, some Super Mario on the Wii, listening to the church bells chime through the windows and a bit of a lie in the hammock for me.



A pretty damn good Sunday if you ask me.
