The camping car stop we are night-stopping at in Montreux is adjacent to the Lac and a leisurely stroll to the town centre (remember to purchase a ticket). We got fined as it's not clear at all.
There is a lovely lakeside walk along the Territet waterfrontage, which we use to visit the town. The impressive Montreux Palace Hotel with one of the beautifully maintained paddle steamers passing by.
Montreux is not huge, but there are some very nice shops (for Linda). I head back to the waterfront. Finding Freddie Mercury's flamboyant statue, patience is needed to photograph it as fans and tourists envelop it.
The many park benches allow you to sit in the afternoon (patchy sun)and enjoy the view out across the water to the high Dents-de-Midi.
As we enjoy an early evening drink (expensive) outside one of the many cafes, unfortunately, a light rain sweeps over the lake and darkens the mountains.
A lone Kayak passes.
The sun sets across Lake Geneva.
In the morning, brilliant sunshine on the lake.
Lovely to see young Red-Breasted Mergansers out on the water.
Also, young Grebes and tufted ducks are seen.
The next stop is Fribourg and Bern.
