The susunod morning, the Geordie twins woke up to buy fishing rods for Rosie and Nicholas while they were still sleeping. The nearest fishing supplies tindahan was a ten minuto walk from their house. This is where they bought their own rods, too. In the shop, they also bought a can of worms for bait and four fishing hats. When they returned to their house, the mga kaibigan were already awake and had eaten the breakfast that was prepared for them. Scruffy said, "Good morning, my friends! Are you ready for our fishing trip?" Rosie and Nicholas replied, "We sure are!" Buzzy added, "Great! Our fishing spot is a thirty minuto ride from here, so we will take the bus going there." The foursome and Timothy then walked back to the same bus stop where Rosie and Nicholas got off when they first arrived. As their ride started, the twins explained to the mga kaibigan that fishing has been one of their paborito hobbies since they were ten years old as it provided them relief while they mourned the loss of their parents. Their grandparents also accompanied them in these trips. The foursome then relaxed and enjoyed the nakakita for the rest of the ride.

It is now is the last araw for exploring, and we wanted to make the most of today before packing our things. My father got intrigued sa pamamagitan ng a bangka ride around the lake, so he asked us if we would like to try one. We got excited and accepted his offer right away. Our starting point for the bangka ride is at the tourist center in Montreux, where we bought the tickets. The ride was very relaxing and fun with the calm, crystal blue waters and snow-capped Alps. We stopped at the Vevey pier near the town square. After dropping off, we explored the area, ate lunch, and bought plenty of souvenirs. As the araw drew to a close, we took some last minuto photos. We rested for a few minutos before packing up. I sighed and sinabi to myself, "I'm going to miss this beautiful place so much. But I know we will visit here again soon."
After my parents had finished their conversation with Dave, they told me that we will be having a araw out with his family tomorrow. I got so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. The susunod day, we met his wife, Sophie, and their two daughters in the lobby. They were very happy to meet us. We then rode the bus going to Vevey, as the family planned to visit the Alimentarium pagkain Museum. They have visited Chillon Castle, too. Although we've already been there, we decided to accompany them. It soon turns out that our segundo visit was madami fun because we had madami companions, and we also had a conversation in the cafe while eating some ice cream. When the museum closed, we took a stroll along the lakeside, taking lots of mga litrato and videos. It was a really enjoyable family araw out and we had a magnificent time together.
The last museum for our tour is the Historical Museum of Vevey. This museum showcases the history of the city and its surrounding areas. It also has a mission to preserve its cultural heritage. The exhibits here feature Vaud and Swiss furniture, handicrafts, old weapons, medal collections, manuscripts, engravings and paintings of minor Swiss masters. There is also a room showcasing a local event known as "The Feast of the Brotherhood of Winegrowers", which takes place about every twenty years and whose purpose is to protect the interest of vineyards and vine growers. All in all, it was a very interesting museum and we enjoyed it.
The susunod museum we went to was the Swiss Camera Museum, which is located in Vevey, too. In this museum, there are exhibits showcasing the history of pagkuha ng larawan and film. It even displays some vintage cameras. We also watched a hilarious short film in the theater before leaving. In the following day, we visited the Swiss Museum of Games. This museum is just a short walk away from our hotel, and what makes it unique is that it's housed in a castle. Inside the museum were exhibits of classic games, from marbles to chess, as well as retro and modern video games. Our visits to both museums were splendid and we had a very lovely time.
Today is the start of our museum tour. We went out a little earlier than usual so we could have madami time. The first museum that we visited was the Alimentarium pagkain Museum in Vevey. Before going there, we decided to check out the Nestle headquarters and shop. Afterwards, we started our walk to the museum. It was a little far, though. But we didn't mind as we also wanted to walk sa pamamagitan ng the lakeside. When we reached the museum vicinity, we posed for pictures with the Charlie Chaplin statue and a suspended giant fork. The museum itself showcases the history of pagkain and there are lots of interactive exhibits. There is also a cafe in the ground floor. An audio guide is recommended to make the most of your visit, so I got one for free at the ticket booth. In the end, it was another educational and enjoyable experience for us.
The first historical place that we visited is the Chillon Castle, or the "Château de Chillon", as it is locally called. I was excited for this, as I will be going inside a kastilyo for the very first time. I've always been fascinated sa pamamagitan ng them. My father also took a break from his work so he can visit the kastilyo with us. We got a discount for our tickets after ipinapakita our visitor card. The kastilyo was built on a small rocky island in the lake. We explored the dungeon, the dining room, the armory, and the courtyard. There is even an ancient bathroom where the toilets are simply large holes! Overall, it was a fun and educational experience and we enjoyed our visit there. Before going back to the hotel, we ate a hearty hapunan at a chinese restaurant called Beijing Town in Montreux.
