Ouch, public transport.

Everyone always warns you about how expensive Switzerland is, but nothing can really prepare you until you are there and the money has to come out of your wallet. A daycard for Greg and I to travel return to Lausanne cost 50chf. In comparison, clothes and everything else here just pales into insignificance.

Well, we were still in holiday mode, and it was a nice day, so instead of getting the cable car into the nearest town, Vevey, we decided to try walking down. Most other countries provie a nice path down the side of the cable car. The fact that there wasn't one here should have sent off warning bells.

The sun was setting which made our journey truly lovely and we had to stop often to take photos of the magnificent view. The roads were all incredibly steep, and the countryside was full with vineyards so unless we were willing to trespass, there were no shortcuts.

2 hours later we were still making our way down, and I was so over our walk. I was tired, thirsty, hungry and somewhat annoyed with the universe in general. One thing at least was clear, walking into Vevey to save ourselves 5 chf was not an option.
