Montreaux

Montreaux, our last day in Switzerland before we left for Ukraine. Wow... that about sums it up. On the shores of Lake Geneva this train ride was nothing short of spectacular. 
 

 
This was our first look at Lake Geneva surrounded by the alps as we came out of the train tunnel. The hillside below us was blanketed with terraced vineyards, winding roads, and the occasional house. It took my breath away.



In Montreaux we visited the Chateau Chillon, above is one of the many massive fire places utilized at one time. The rooms were still permeated with the smell of burnt wood.
