We were very fortunate to have our friends, Rob & Lisa, come visit from Cincinatti. I was so happy that Lisa was able to tag along on Rob's business trip:)
The first day we walked them all over Neuchatel but the 2nd day we decided to head to Chateau de Chillon, a 13th Century castle on Lake Geneva in Montreux. The weather was so ugly and it was raining very hard that we thought a castle would be our best bet.
We thought it was funny how little the door way was into "Bonivard's Prison.
It is said that Bonivard was chained to the 5th column for 7 years. His story inspired Lord Byron, the Romantic poet, to write "The Prisoner of Chillon".

Lisa and I in the center courtyard.
The wood columns and ceilings were beautiful.
I think the 700 year old toilet served its purpose.
The weather cleared up and I was happy that they were able to finally see something other than fog.

It was cold and you can see where it was snowing.
Thank you Rob and Lisa for coming and all the wonderful and fun memories.
