What happened?

It is now is the last 日 for exploring, and we wanted to make the most of today before packing our things. My father got intrigued 由 a 船, 小船 ride around the lake, so he asked us if we would like to try one. We got excited and accepted his offer right away. Our starting point for the 船, 小船 ride is at the tourist center in Montreux, where we bought the tickets. The ride was very relaxing and fun with the calm, crystal blue waters and snow-capped Alps. We stopped at the Vevey pier near the town square. After dropping off, we explored the area, ate lunch, and bought plenty of souvenirs. As the 日 drew to a close, we took some last 分钟 photos. We rested for a few 分钟 before packing up. I sighed and 说 to myself, "I'm going to miss this beautiful place so much. But I know we will visit here again soon."

After my parents had finished their conversation with Dave, they told me that we will be having a 日 out with his family tomorrow. I got so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. The 下一个 day, we met his wife, Sophie, and their two daughters in the lobby. They were very happy to meet us. We then rode the bus going to Vevey, as the family planned to visit the Alimentarium 食物 Museum. They have visited Chillon Castle, too. Although we've already been there, we decided to accompany them. It soon turns out that our 秒 visit was 更多 fun because we had 更多 companions, and we also had a conversation in the cafe while eating some ice cream. When the museum closed, we took a stroll along the lakeside, taking lots of 照片 and videos. It was a really enjoyable family 日 out and we had a magnificent time together.

The last museum for our tour is the Historical Museum of Vevey. This museum showcases the history of the city and its surrounding areas. It also has a mission to preserve its cultural heritage. The exhibits here feature Vaud and Swiss furniture, handicrafts, old weapons, medal collections, manuscripts, engravings and paintings of minor Swiss masters. There is also a room showcasing a local event known as "The Feast of the Brotherhood of Winegrowers", which takes place about every twenty years and whose purpose is to protect the interest of vineyards and vine growers. All in all, it was a very interesting museum and we enjoyed it.

The 下一个 museum we went to was the Swiss Camera Museum, which is located in Vevey, too. In this museum, there are exhibits showcasing the history of 摄影 and film. It even displays some vintage cameras. We also watched a hilarious short film in the theater before leaving. In the following day, we visited the Swiss Museum of Games. This museum is just a short walk away from our hotel, and what makes it unique is that it's housed in a castle. Inside the museum were exhibits of classic games, from marbles to chess, as well as retro and modern video games. Our visits to both museums were splendid and we had a very lovely time.

Today is the start of our museum tour. We went out a little earlier than usual so we could have 更多 time. The first museum that we visited was the Alimentarium 食物 Museum in Vevey. Before going there, we decided to check out the Nestle headquarters and shop. Afterwards, we started our walk to the museum. It was a little far, though. But we didn't mind as we also wanted to walk 由 the lakeside. When we reached the museum vicinity, we posed for pictures with the Charlie Chaplin statue and a suspended giant fork. The museum itself showcases the history of 食物 and there are lots of interactive exhibits. There is also a cafe in the ground floor. An audio guide is recommended to make the most of your visit, so I got one for free at the ticket booth. In the end, it was another educational and enjoyable experience for us.

The first historical place that we visited is the Chillon Castle, 或者 the "Château de Chillon", as it is locally called. I was excited for this, as I will be going inside a 城堡 for the very first time. I've always been fascinated 由 them. My father also took a break from his work so he can visit the 城堡 with us. We got a discount for our tickets after 展示 our visitor card. The 城堡 was built on a small rocky island in the lake. We explored the dungeon, the dining room, the armory, and the courtyard. There is even an ancient bathroom where the toilets are simply large holes! Overall, it was a fun and educational experience and we enjoyed our visit there. Before going back to the hotel, we ate a hearty 晚餐 at a chinese restaurant called Beijing Town in Montreux.
