Castle Chillon

Today we went to Vevey to tour around the market. There were so many different people and things being sold- it was amazing. I find it hard to communicate and get around without knowing French, but many of the Swiss try and speak English. The food is wonderful and anything you could possibly want is offered. After touring the city we took a boat ride to Chillon. The group went on the top deck at first, but soon got kicked off due to the fact that we weren't first class.
Castle Chillon and read the "Prisoner of Chillon" in the dungeon of the castle. It was very chilling to be in the same place as the prisoners. There was true understanding of the sadness that Byron was expressing in his poem. After reading the poem we were set free to roam as we pleased. Bobbie and I toured the castle together. Sadly, both of our cameras died, but the magnificence of the castle was breathtaking.
Finally we stopped at Montrauex which was a nice, seemingly luxurious town. We took the train back to Barbelouse to eat at a pizza place. It was really good, but the cold, wet weather along with full bellies made us all tired. The castle was definitely the best part about the day to me, but I also love just walking around the towns and experiencing the culture.
