Switzerland: Lausanne

On Sunday we decided to just have a relaxing day in Lausanne before we were set to fly out of Geneva that night. Jordan was busy catching up on some homework so us five decided to wonder around Lausanne and see what it had to offer. We walked down to the beautiful lake Geneva and took some pictures. We ended up staying down there for about a few hours just relaxing and enjoying the boardwalk like atmosphere down by the lake. There was an olympic fair going on at that time down at the lake where people could participate in various events, with my favorite being a booth where they would time your bobsled start by using a real bobsled and about thirty yards of open area. Another cool thing about Switzerland as a whole is that they had fountains all over the cities that constantly poured fresh water out (picture below) which was very convenient to us since we enjoy being cheap and don't want to spend money on drinks.  Also, I found it cool that just across Lake Geneva we could see France, and while I was on top of the Swiss Alps I could see Italy, so technically I saw three countries in one weekend. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the nice Pepperdine house just relaxing and playing ping pong. Matt and I's flight was set to take off at 9:45 PM and land around 10:15 in London due to the time difference. We were going to have around exactly an hour and a half to get to the train station from the airport to get on a train back to Bath or we were going to be stuck in London for the night. Well of course our flight got delayed so we got stuck in London. It wasn't awful purely because Matt and I's attitude. We were determined to make the most of it so we walked about an hour or so from train station to train station since the tube's were closed and got to see some of the sights of London at two in the morning which was actually cool. We relaxed the rest of the night the best we could in the train station and hopped on the train at 5:19 getting into Bath at 7:00, just in time for our nine o'clock class.
