Lausanne-the hike

We went on the Rochers de Naye, you have to start from Montreux (another city at the lake, about 50 km's away from Lausanne). The climb wasn't too difficult but it was damn hot.

 

We enjoyed the nature and the sun. Well, if we enjoyed it, I am not hundred percent sure, it was too hot.

 

Due to the fact that I had still this sunburn I had to be careful, so I walked with a shirt in my neck, it looked like a Arabian.

 

At a spring I met two guys from Germany. We talked about the weather. After a while I asked them what they are doing here. They said they are working at EPFL (the uni at lausanne). They do there Phd there. I asked them which direction, for sure they were civil engineers. Furthermore I asked them where they did there degree, they said in Darmstadt. We talked about the uni and noticed that we know the same lectures. Furthermore one guy was once my tutor in steel construction some years ago before I left to NZ. That was funny.
