Here's a virtual tour of a part of the beautiful country called Switzerland...
Though I have taken around 600 photos, I can't upload all of them so here are a few...
Lausanne
We stayed at Hotel Beau Rivage Palace which is oen of Europe's favourite hotels for teh wealthy and the famous. It is also where Atal Bihari Vajpayee stayed during the G8 summit in 2003 - I saw that room, too. It is one of the best hotels in Lausanne. It is simply breathtaking and I had a room with a view.
From the room window, I caught these sights
A view of the mountains across the Lac Leman
Note the chestnut trees on the avenue
Such roadside cafes are a very French kind of scene. Incidentally, Lausanne is the French zone. Switzerland is distinctly divided into three kinds of zones - The German, The French and the The Italian.
The Riviera
The Lake Side
The famous Cathedral of Lausanne
there is a very interesting story behind the Cathedral. It is said that Lausanne was Catholic in faith till the Bernese invasion when the people, fed up with the excesses of Bishops, welcomed the invaders and turned into Protestants.
The Olympics Museum at Lausanne is the only one of its kind in the world. These days it has a special hall on the Beijing Games
Golden Pass Railways
the Golden Pass Railways is one of the most romantic ways to travel across the Gstaad region. It is all gold and mahogany in ambience.
Gstaad is where the rich and the famous have their chalets. Hollywood stars and tycoons stay there during the skiing season.
The Road to Glacier 3000
From Gstaad we went to the Glacier 3000 and was it breathtaking!
It was one of those rare sunny days and the snow covered areas were filled with skiiers of all age group. There were children as young as 3 years old and senior citizens as old as 70 years.
This is Village Les Diablerets which nestles just under the snow covered mountains.

Dear Tanushree,
I am feeling jealous. I can say that you r enjoying the life to fullest by journeys around the world.
See my bad luck...recently my technical paper has been accepted by WTS which is going to be held at California during 24th -26th of April. I am unable to go because of not getting sponsorship and also I am under treatment for severe health problem.
How many times I dreamt of those silent nature wishpers!
Thank you dear...at least you made me watch them through your pics.
