Europe Day 8: Olympic Museum

Friday, 14 January 2011
Tuesday morning we went to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, home to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).


The museum was very impressive. We started with a group guided tour, which was somewhat interesting, but not nearly as interesting as just wandering around on our own was.


I learned a lot about the history of the different Games...if anyone is ever in Lausanne, the Olympic Museum is a must visit place...





Had another kabob from another Greek fast food place for lunch, which was again quite good...then we had the afternoon free...so I took a nap. Much of the group went on a lengthy walk to a tower that apparently would have been much cooler if the weather had not been so foggy.

For dinner, I went to a little tea shop with a couple people and bought a rather dry, lousy sandwich, then went with a different group to a Chinese place near the train station, which was much more satisfying. That pretty much covers Tuesday...
