To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Today we made the one hour train trip up and through the mountains to Rochers-de-Naye, a mountain which is 7,000 feet above Montreux (Bernese Alps). The scenery traveling to and from the mountain as well as that on the mountain was breathtaking. Although quite warm in Montreux, there was still snow and ice on the mountains above. There is a quaint Swiss restaurant near the summit as well as a colony off marmots, which belong to the squirrel family. But all one needs are the spectacular views from the mountain as well as the clean, fresh air you breathe there to realize that you are truly alive!
