After checking out Lausanne, we took a quick metro ride to the neighboring city of Ouchy (pronounced oo-shee). It is right on the lake front and is so beautiful. It is also home to the Olympic Museum and the headquarters of the IOC.

After the museum we headed to a nice crepe place overlooking the lake
I think it was my parents' first time eating crepes with ham, cheese, eggs, tomatoes and the like
Afterward everyone ordered ice cream which consisted of one mini scoop in these glass bowls.
It was about $3.50 a scoop and I think Pete could have eaten it in one bite.
