Montreux 4

 A few more from the journey back down the valley.

Once back at the station we headed up the hill behind it to have a look at the old town; nothing particular of note really, just a few street scenes.

I love the two chickens in the centre window.


From there we walked back to the lakeside part of town.  Looking towards Vevey

And to the Casino which had a Queen museum and entry was free (presumably to entice people in to spend money).  We had a bit of difficulty actually finding the museum part of it but once we did it was excellent.  Lots of memorabilia and interesting information about the band.


Some of Freddie's costumes.




And a reconstructed recording studio.


Where you could actually twiddle with the knobs and affect the output.


This is where Freddie stood to record his vocals for Mother Love, the last song he recorded.

A video playing on the studio monitors.



This is just a small section of the comments wall.

Time now to get back to the hotel, retrieve our cases and head back to the station for our next train, via the supermarket to pick up a sandwich to each on the train.
