1839 - Mist on the water

My feet ache - well, I've walked round Lausanne, twice
Once this morning and again this evening
And if you don't know, it's a hilly place
Especially if you take some wrong turnings
I took the train to Vevey - exciting
It was, despite the rain - the lake, the peaks
Then beyond Montreux to the once chilling
Chateau de Chillon which held many treats
Not least its cast of actors and their feats
Of medieval lifestyle, medieval dress
Lots of good photos and some interesting
Anecdotes to tell. Reached Montreux, walking
By the lake, sunny again... But my feet!
Back to Lausanne, bought more food, but the price
Is mounting, despite my penny-pinching
