My apologies for posting out of order! I had this post all ready to go and just realized it wasn't up. Note that I am using initials for my grandma's girlfriends traveling with her - R, L, and W.

“Got up at 8:00 this morning. Had breakfast and hurried over to the dock where we got a boat to Montreaux. It was a beautiful day and the lake was lovely - Lac Leman is surrounded by mountains, many of which have snow on them. We got a good view of Mont Blanc. Reached Montreaux about 2:30.”

“Went out to the castle of Chillon, where we saw the prison of Bonivard about whom “The Prisoner of Chillon” was written. Went back to the town and did some shopping. Found some lovely hand embroidery work, which was very reasonable. Got the boat for Geneva at 5:15. Met Mrs. Hicks and her two sons on the boat. Reached here at 9:30. The evening was lovely, I enjoyed the moon. W, R and I hunted up a tea room where we had lunch [dinner]. L went out with young Hicks. Got to bed at 11:45.”

“R and I got to breakfast about 10:30. The maid asked if we wanted breakfast or lunch. Went over to Cooks and got tickets for an excursion to the top of Mount Saleve for the p.m. Had a nice trip by tram and cog car then walked the rest of the way. On the return, the car went off the track and delayed us for about an hour. Got back in time for dinner then wrote letters in the evening.”
