Montroux: The Swiss Riviera

Yesterday I had my first excursion in Switzerland! After waking up nice and early we headed to the town of Montroux, about an hour from where I live. On the way we stopped in the small town of Vevey, where we bought some food for a picnic at the outdoor market, walked around the lake, and checked out the Nestle's World HQ. Then we continued to Montroux, where we spent the day walking along the lake to the castle there, exploring the castle, and picnicking. Here are some photos from our day :)

 My favorite stall...so many yummy kinds of cheese. And they give free samples.
