Trip pix. We stayed in Lausanne and tram-tastic Zurich, and visited Gruy\u00e8res, Lucerne, Winterthur, and the Ch\u00e2teau de Chillon<\/a> near Montreux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Lion of Lucerne<\/a>, commemorating Swiss casualties from the French Revolution. It was sculpted by Bertel Thorvaldsen, whose “strict adherence to classical norms has tended to estrange modern audiences,” according to Wikipedia. The modern audience on safari<\/a> didn’t seem too estranged.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe Lindt factory shop, aka paradise, can be found just south of Zurich. To some of us, chocolate is more valuable than gold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTo facilitate their famed punctuality, Swiss engineers swapped old-fashioned cow catchers for something more proactive.<\/p>\n

\nA bit of country in the middle of Lausanne<\/p>\n

\nFurther off the beaten path.
\nActually, a painting on exhibit in the Chateau de Gruy\u00e8res.<\/p>\n

\nLunch at the Chateau<\/p>\n

\n“You’re under arrest.” And he was.<\/p>\n

\"\"They opted for the bad news first<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhat can happen when the toy store runs out of dollhouses.
\nPainting in the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nEveryone was anxious she have a good night’s sleep<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBegging for a Hannibal Lecter caption<\/p>\n

Switzerland is expensive. Halfway through I ran out of colour.
