View from the Cruise Ferry Window
Boy
Bottles and Glasses
Château de Chillon on Lake Geneva
The afternoon was terribly warm. It was hard for me to imagine a warm day in Switzerland when I always see pictures of snow-capped Swiss mountains. The cruise on Lake Geneva was free with Eurail. The ferry boarding point is about 200m from my hostel, which was very convenient. The end point of my cruise journey was Château de Chillon.
I only had the rights to be on the economy class of the deck; but heck, I went up to the first class deck which was one deck above the e-class. I had a much better view and the deck less crowded. I think each first-class passenger had a complimentary free drink since there were quite a few bottles and glasses lying around. (Or maybe they were just plain rich and wanted a drink on the freaking warm day.) The waitress didn't ask me for an order... lucky. I met a friendly boy who wasn't shy when my camera pointed at him. He and his mum said bye to me before they alighted from the ferry. We have quite an affinity for each other. I met the boy again near Château de Chillon; he was cycling.
