Funny story, there is a casino in Montreux. Montreux sounds like a nice place, right? You'd think the casino would be a flash, trendy place right? Well, not in Montreux. After dressing up nicely, we arrived at what could be described as "Hornsby RSL but not as nice". I think the Irish Pub at Asquith Leagues might even be a toe ahead.
The casino was signposted with a CASINO sign, in red neon lights. We were a little let down. The food, however, redeemed the institution. We didn't even take a picture of the place. Sorry. What, hang on, BJ DID take a photo of it. Ooops. Here it is in the day light:
But do you know what was cool? The train ride there was something else. We took a "panoramic" train ride from Lucerne to Montreux. We were at the front of the train. "The front?" you ask. Yes:
Cool huh?
We also took the liberty of paying a visit to the Nestle/Cailler factory. Free samples. BJ enjoyed it, and I managed to exhaust a vial of lactase pills in one hit.
We also stopped by an old castle in a place called Gruyere. They have a cheese factory, but they also have a castle. Check out the view from the castle:
After Montreux, we went to Paris. I'll blog that later. We're in Amsterdam right now.
We met up with Kevin Chan in Paris. His blog is http://inkev.blogspot.com/ hopefully he'll updated it before us, so you can have a look see about Paris.
