Morges/Murten, Switzerland (May 17)

Abbey planned a day trip to Morges, Switzerland to see Audrey Hepburn's grave. Being a fan...and so close, I joined the other six girls for the 3 hour journey! We got going early and caught the 8 o'clock train. Once in Morges....we actually got lost for about an hour and a half....but walked down random small roads trying to find Audrey's house...which became really fun. Tiny Swiss roads surrounded by beautiful scenery is hard to complain about!


Right after the train ride. Stop for McDonald's!

Trying to find Audrey's house....but instead we get a cow. How typical in Switzerland!!!

Finally made it! Abbey said that she heard her son lives here...in which case, we saw him....or his guests....either way it was pretty stalkerish of us!

Her grave was right around the corner from her home. Very beautiful area to be buried.

We worked up an appetite trying to find these places. Bec (Aussie) and Abbey (New Zealand) had these to share. They were switching flavors here. Silly girls....shapes are for kids! (waha...corny?)
Judges approve!


While trying to find our way back, we got lost....just in time for it to rain. Luckily, McKenzie and Megan had ponchos for Lacey and I!

Still trying to find the train station....

Finally there!
On our way to Murten.

We stopped in Murten on our way home. Its a little village about an hour from Morges. We had coffee there and hung out a little bit...while Bec walked across the zebra crossings doing a crab walk! It was possibly the highlight of my trip!

Despite all the getting lost, it was a really fun day with the girls!
