Lausanne to Vevey 28/7/17
28/7/17 Friday
Day 1
Lausanne-Vevey 26 km
Cloudy, cool
0530 start.
Walk along lakefront into village of
Lutry: quaint, quiet, civilised and pervading the sense of being in
France.
Shuttered cottages along the promenade.
Gated entrances, expensive cars and grand residences along the high
road between the lake and terraced grapevines.
Greeted by a local who has walked some
of the VF and plans to recommence- this time with his dog.
Progressively hotter throughout the
day. Find ourselves walking on train tracks which we hurriedly and
nervously scramble across and then clamber up steps, across a
vineyard and back to the road!
Mostly walk alongside the lake on the
pavement and look up to hillside vines; the heat becoming
increasingly arduous.
Jump in the lake before Vevey: a
cosmopolitan place with a busy waterfront with carousel and
deckchairs.
Feet sore despite using all three sets
of footwear.
No blisters.
No blisters!
