The past few days in Switzerland have been so much fun. Waking up every day to a great view of the water and the mountains was unbelievable. The hotel was very nice and the staff was so accommodating, they really had an effect on our stay in Lausanne. I would actually consider coming back to Lausanne one day because everything is so relaxed here. But, I do have to say they are very expensive out here!! So definitely save up.
The meetings with Wada and the IOC this week was very helpful. I felt like they didn't just talk about their company they talked about topics we would be interested in and information that would be helpful in the future. They also didn't last so long and I felt like they got straight to the point so we weren't really bored and we could actually stay engaged and then ask questions at the end. After the two meetings we had time to relax and catch up on some sleep. Later we went and sat on the water and hung out for a few hours and took a lot of pictures.
On the walk back we stopped at the carnival, which had a lot of crazy rides. A few people went on the trampolines and it was hilarious to watch. I also had the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. Its called Movenpick and it has bits of fruit in it, I wish we had it back home I'm going to miss it so much!!
Our last day here we went to Montreux which was a short train ride away. The mountains were so pretty and I was able to sit out on the water and relax for most of the day. I also saw a lot of people fishing out there, so I was so jealous. Then the ladies and Professor Ryan went out for crepes for dinner, crepes aren't my favorite but I'm glad I tried them. For dessert we went and got Movenpick for the last time :( and sat on the water. I'm going to miss Ouchy, Lausanne so much, so many good memories here and I love the name even though we pronounce it wrong :)
Tomorrow is Greece can't wait to get there and hopefully they have nice weather all week!
