Hiking

Today Vibhor and I went hiking. Left by the 8 am train for Montreux. Walked for an hour by the lac to see the chateau de Chillon - a medieval castle on a man-made island on the lake. Then we changes some buses and small trains to reach Les Diablerets. It's a beautiful place surrounded by still-snowy peaks. And took a long hike along the mountainous trails and ups and downs. We had packed our lunch - sandwitches - and had it on the way. Did not go up the ropeway to Glacier 3000, as it was very cloudy and hence the 54 CHF to go up would not be really worth it - we can't see anything. On a clear day one can see Mont Blanc (highest peak in europe) and Jungfraujoch (highest peak in Switzerland) clearly. It is also famous for skiing in winter. The trail back was along a beautiful mountain river, with rapids and little waterfalls. Came back home at 8 pm, exhausted after more than 8 hours of hiking, but thoroughly enjoying it. Slept off immediately.
