Welcome to Montreux
We just stopped in Montreux for an hour or so to stretch our legs and change trains on the way to Zermatt. We just walked along the waterfront and enjoyed a view of the lake. It was a pretty city and there was a statue dedicated to Freddie Mercury because Queen did a bunch of recording there.
