Here is Not So Short Summary of the trip.
TO the city of VEVEY, on the dead end of Geneva Lake
FAMOUS FOR Head Quarters of Nestle company. Do you know that Nestle is Swiss company?
OCCASION 11km race to celebrate Charlie Chaplin birthday. CC spent 25 years of his later part of life here, and he is one of many celebrities captive of this beautiful busy tourist spot.
MEANS Bike (a.k.a bicycle). My friend wanted to ppt in the race. I got a free bike from the community for him.
EXP Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa! the same beauty spots, the same heavenly architectures at mind blowing heights. But from a closer and different angle.
EXCITING THING OF THE DAY a very old man in 70s probably cleared that 11km run. The track has slopes of 500meters altitude difference. It is a very very tough track even for professionals. Oh God! an old man did it!! I was ashamed of myself as I was sleeping in the green fields when he was clearing!!
STATISTICS Up and Down total 50km!! 400+ snaps (10per km??). More than 2 hrs to reach Vevey (to accommodate the shooting time!) and while return close to 1 and half because of hardly few snaps.
I could not resist so wanted to grab as much as possible into the camera. Altitudes of 500 to 700meters on the way really tested my patience and stamina. But i executed the same old hill climbing algo!
RESULT Used to return with light mind after every swiss trip. But this time with lighter body too!!
Pics speak of the rest.
