Our trip to London was also to see family but we squeezed in a little bit of sight seeing too. London is gearing up for the royal wedding later this month (I think that's right), so we stopped by Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abby to see what was going on there. Unfortunately London is not easy to access when you have a baby in a buggy and as a result I didn't get many photos.
After a lovely time in London, we were back home for a week. The weather has been wonderfully warm lately and the weekly markets have opened for the Summer months. The markets sell everything from bread, cheese, meat and fish, to flowers, vegetables and clothing. This is our local market in Oerlikon.
We found these two in a local shopping mall. I was quite surprised to hear the sound they make.
After a week at home, we are now on the road again. My husband is attending a workshop here in Lausanne, and bubs and I have tagged along. It's our first time here, having passed it many times on the way to Geneva. It's a lovely place and the weather has been absolutely amazing. It's so nice to wake up and see the sun shining and feel the warmth from an open window. It's also very nice to have a change of pace listening to French instead of German!
We're staying in a hotel between the lake (Lake Geneva) and the old city, and it's just a 10 minute walk to either.
As always, the colour has washed out from the lovely bright photos that these are. These next photos, taken yesterday, are better but it's a little disappointing. This is Notre-Dame and the view of the city from there. Hopefully on Friday the three of us will climb up this tower...and maybe, just maybe, stop for crepes on the way back to the hotel...
Our adventure here continues until Saturday when we will hopefully meet up with our friends from Geneva. Then we're back home for a week before heading off to Milan for a quick trip to see one of bubs' uncles...and for me to eat all the gelato I can!
