PART TWO - LAKE GENEVA, VEVEY / JAZZ CAFÈ: MONTREUX, SWITZERLAND

LAKE GENEVA: MONTREUX TO VEVEY

Day two began where we decided to take a explore Montreux some more, before boarding a paddle boat across Lake Geneva.  There appeared to be a handful of points on the lake whereby we were able to hop on and off to view each town as we pleased.  We agreed to take the 30 minute trip to Vevey, again a picturesque point of Lake Geneva.

So with an hour or so to brows around, we hit the antique market along the lake boarder.  I fell involve with so many intricate pieces of jewellery, however managed to sway myself away from buying them.  Instead we came across a traditional swiss cafe/bar, of course with half an hour until our boat was due, we surely made time for a beer or two.

Beer, beer, beer...Kochersberg

After all the beer and exploring we headed back to the harbour to catch the last boat back to Montreux.  

Of course I failed to turn down the gorgeous swiss chocolate ice cream on the way back.

LAKE GENEVA: MONTREAL NIGHTS Next stop Montreux Jazz Cafè, renowned for its contemporary cuisine and combination of musical dining. The evening began with a elegant complementary fresh basket of bread, companied by intricate domes of infused butter, from pesto to saffron.

'Main Act' as it were, King Prawn, Roasted Lemongrass, Thai Vermicelli Curry.  Not my usual preference, however this exceeded my previous expectations on King Prawns.

Yesss...after main came dessert, then of course you can't do a course meal at the Jazz Cafè without ordering coffee.  Accompanied with the most mouthwatering swiss chocolate truffles ever...!!!

Not to mention the love I found for the copper YES copper crockery, so much I wanted to take them home.
