Montreux

Today we are bound for Switzerland. Our first stop is the town of Montreux on the shore of lake Geneva. It’s a lovely afternoon.

The lake is quite choppy.

The famous statue of Freddie Mercury.

Lovely old market hall.

Like most Swiss resort towns, Montreux has a casino. You can wander in and watch the gamblers playing roulette and blackjack.

We’re not here for gambling however. British rock band Queen did a lot of their recording here, and there’s a Queen Experience exhibition in the casino.

There’s lots of memorabilia, and a tiny theatre where you can watch a film about the band.

You can even have a go at mixing a Queen track yourself. Here’s Val in the studio.

After all that excitement we were hungry and thirsty, and we found a splendid pub for dinner.

Tomorrow is looking like a wet day, but we’ll try to get out and about nonetheless.
