OUCHY

Looks like a booboo town - but it is pronounced OOO-SHEE. And it is very popular with the tourist set, particularly those who like to spend their time on the Switzerland Rivieras of Montreux and Ouchy. These are just a few pics from my visit yesterday which was a beautiful day to just travel about near the water. Mountains still a bit fuzzy, but eventually they do clear.

Be sure to go back to the older posts to see more of my travels here. These below are not my best photos but they do document yesterday's adventure to Ouchy. I also took the metro north to Croisettes just for the ride and to see what was there.  It was cute town but didn't explore it much as it was late in the afternoon and the trains get very crowded on the way home. And on Friday it seems that everyone has a suitcase and is escaping to somewhere in the Alps. Not bad, eh?

Lunch at a little place on the lake - had crepes Basquaise with vegies and good stuff.
And a glass of wine to wash it down. LOL

The park

It was actually quite cool (cold to me) but a great afternoon to just enjoy

So many swans here - beasty little birds. 

Sunrise this morning over the mountains. This scene lasts all of one minute and if you don't get it then, you don't get it. As the day goes on the mountains are shrouded in clouds. I hear that the only way to get clear weather is to go to the tops of the mountains. I will settle for cloudy right now.

Boat Trip

EVIAN, FRANCE

Ready to take a boat trip to EVIAN,  where water is water and it comes in fancy bottles...

That is the port of Ouchy, point of departure, also the park,  and Lausanne in the background.

 This is departing  gate for EVIAN France - a 35 min. boat ride across Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) to get a drink of water...


The harbor at Evian, France - a Beautiful day to say the least

The waterfront in Evian

The water is so clear you can see the water line of the boat - it is below the dark blue area. See it?

From the boat coming into Evian. An adorable little town (snapshot)

Where there are sailboats, I will photograph...It was a great day for sailing and there were a few out there on Lac Léman today (Lake Geneva)
The water is so clear you can see to the bottom where it is shallow.

Supposedly there are trout in this lake too. This water in photo is about 8 ft. deep and CLEAR.

More from Evian....

Now THAT is a building mural...

Getting to Geneva from the other side of the lake

 It was a beautiful day in Evian. Eventually I will learn to hold my camera straight...

And I will get to post process these one of these days. For now, they are straight out of the camera.
