"They're coming! They're coming! Quick! Everybody hide!" Buzzy exclaimed as he, Scruffy, Bridget, and the Beatles heard the sound of footsteps. Rosie and Nicholas had just returned and were approaching the dorm. Rosie said, "Thanks for taking me on a día out at the zoo, buddy. I had a great time." Nicholas replied, "You're welcome, darling. I had a splendid time, too." Upon entering the dorm, they were quite delighted to see it decorated with the birthday streamers and balloons. Then, suddenly, their friends jumped out and shouted, "Surprise!!! Happy Birthday, Rosie!" She exclaimed as a big smile lightened up her face, "Wow! It's a surprise birthday party for me!" John replied, "That's right, mate! We decorated the dorm just for you." Rosie remarked, "Aw! How sweet of tu all. I amor them." Paul said, "We know tu would, dear." "And I baked this cake for tu with lots of love!" Added George as he carried and placed it on the table. Rosie replied, "Thank tu so much, George! It's very lovely." George responded, "My pleasure, darling." Nicholas said, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get the party started!" Everyone replied, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" And so, Rosie's friends sang Happy Birthday for her, and she blew her candles and made a wish. Afterwards, Rosie opened her presents and they each had their share of the cake. They also played some fun games and had a little examen contest. When the party was over, Rosie thanked her friends once again for making her twenty-first birthday a very memorable one.

It is now is the last día for exploring, and we wanted to make the most of today before packing our things. My father got intrigued por a barco ride around the lake, so he asked us if we would like to try one. We got excited and accepted his offer right away. Our starting point for the barco ride is at the tourist center in Montreux, where we bought the tickets. The ride was very relaxing and fun with the calm, crystal blue waters and snow-capped Alps. We stopped at the Vevey pier near the town square. After dropping off, we explored the area, ate lunch, and bought plenty of souvenirs. As the día drew to a close, we took some last minuto photos. We rested for a few minutos before packing up. I sighed and dicho to myself, "I'm going to miss this beautiful place so much. But I know we will visit here again soon."
After my parents had finished their conversation with Dave, they told me that we will be having a día out with his family tomorrow. I got so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. The siguiente day, we met his wife, Sophie, and their two daughters in the lobby. They were very happy to meet us. We then rode the bus going to Vevey, as the family planned to visit the Alimentarium comida Museum. They have visited Chillon Castle, too. Although we've already been there, we decided to accompany them. It soon turns out that our segundo visit was más fun because we had más companions, and we also had a conversation in the cafe while eating some ice cream. When the museum closed, we took a stroll along the lakeside, taking lots of fotos and videos. It was a really enjoyable family día out and we had a magnificent time together.
The last museum for our tour is the Historical Museum of Vevey. This museum showcases the history of the city and its surrounding areas. It also has a mission to preserve its cultural heritage. The exhibits here feature Vaud and Swiss furniture, handicrafts, old weapons, medal collections, manuscripts, engravings and paintings of minor Swiss masters. There is also a room showcasing a local event known as "The Feast of the Brotherhood of Winegrowers", which takes place about every twenty years and whose purpose is to protect the interest of vineyards and vine growers. All in all, it was a very interesting museum and we enjoyed it.
The siguiente museum we went to was the Swiss Camera Museum, which is located in Vevey, too. In this museum, there are exhibits showcasing the history of fotografía and film. It even displays some vintage cameras. We also watched a hilarious short film in the theater before leaving. In the following day, we visited the Swiss Museum of Games. This museum is just a short walk away from our hotel, and what makes it unique is that it's housed in a castle. Inside the museum were exhibits of classic games, from marbles to chess, as well as retro and modern video games. Our visits to both museums were splendid and we had a very lovely time.
Today is the start of our museum tour. We went out a little earlier than usual so we could have más time. The first museum that we visited was the Alimentarium comida Museum in Vevey. Before going there, we decided to check out the Nestle headquarters and shop. Afterwards, we started our walk to the museum. It was a little far, though. But we didn't mind as we also wanted to walk por the lakeside. When we reached the museum vicinity, we posed for pictures with the Charlie Chaplin statue and a suspended giant fork. The museum itself showcases the history of comida and there are lots of interactive exhibits. There is also a cafe in the ground floor. An audio guide is recommended to make the most of your visit, so I got one for free at the ticket booth. In the end, it was another educational and enjoyable experience for us.
The first historical place that we visited is the Chillon Castle, o the "Château de Chillon", as it is locally called. I was excited for this, as I will be going inside a castillo for the very first time. I've always been fascinated por them. My father also took a break from his work so he can visit the castillo with us. We got a discount for our tickets after mostrando our visitor card. The castillo was built on a small rocky island in the lake. We explored the dungeon, the dining room, the armory, and the courtyard. There is even an ancient bathroom where the toilets are simply large holes! Overall, it was a fun and educational experience and we enjoyed our visit there. Before going back to the hotel, we ate a hearty cena at a chinese restaurant called Beijing Town in Montreux.
After studying the mini booklet the past night, my mother and I decided to ride the tram bus going back to Vevey. We showed the visitor card to the driver, who then allowed us to take our seats. It was a relaxing ride. When we arrived, we went to a small shopping center to eat lunch. We also explored the department store and supermarket, where we bought some take-out food, chocolate bars, and juice. After the mall closed for the day, we went around the neighborhood for a couple of hours before going back to the hotel. My father returned from his work and asked how our día was. We told him that we had lots of fun together, to which he responded, "I am very happy to know that tu are enjoying the place." Soon, it was time to go to bed. Before I slept, my mother told me that we will be visiting Montreux tomorrow.
