Once in the city itself, we were guided around on an interesting walking tour and learnt about the decimation of Louis XVI's Swiss guards during the French Revolution. The dedication statue to this event was quite moving and very solemn. It is great that so many of the things we have seen have all linked in their historical facts.
Tan: Lunch was a bit of an experience today. I may have been overwhelmed by the prices for the first time. I wasn't sure initially what had happened, but I thought that she charged us 17 Swiss for each beer! It wasn't that at all. The beers were a mere 9.50 Swiss, it was the additional fries with our meal that were 16 in total! My mistake, but OMG that was out of control!!
In the arvo we headed out with Benton and Louise for a cheeky punt at the casino. We didn't win back our money from Monaco! Hahahaha! Only a small loss today, but we have really honed our Roulette skills now and are primed for the casino on the cruise! Yay! We only really gamble on holidays.
We had to head back to the ferry at about 3pm for another glorious relaxation on our way back to the mountain. Rather than heading straight back to the chalet, we decided to take the train to the summit with a few others. Another awesome vantage point for photos....it is never ending!
Back at the chalet after a casual stroll back with a few others, we had a couple of drinks on the balcony and reminisced about a fantastic day all round. This was followed by a sumptuous Swiss barbecue buffet!
After dinner tonight we had a few drinks then the poker session started. The first round of eight players finished up fairly quickly.
Tan: I was second in the second game, though after a few drinks I was seeing hallucinations of a full house that wasn't actually there! My eyes were blurry from a big day and for those of you who are aware of my sleeping habits, it was well past my bedtime!
