Making tracks

Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland

After breakfast in the hotel restaurant—it is still a bit chilly for the outside patio to be open— B4 is off to the local headquarters office for meetings and I walk for an hour before meeting up with sister wives Stephanie and Lynne. We plan to take a train to Nyon, Switzerland, and then a ferry across the lake to Yvoire, France. There is a botanical garden there which has attracted the attention of S&L and I tag along.

The three of us make, by my account at least, a good match. Stephanie occupies the role normally played by me as she determines the route and leads the parade. I love it. We enjoy the day which is punctuated by a wonderful lunch and bottle of wine on the Yvoire waterfront as we await our return voyage to Nyon and then riding of rails back to Lausanne.

I get a good number of steps in on this day punctuated by one fine vertical climb from the Lausanne train station up the hill to The Palace. I see B4 briefly before her Board dinner; I join my larger group of sister wives for dinner at Tribeca, a ten minute walk from our hotel. Both our dinners end at about the same time and we meet up just in time to fall into bed for another wonderful night of catch-up sleep.
