Going for the rings

After our day in Annecy and our return to Switzerland, we began our next day of adventures by heading to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.  As usual, the weather was rainy.  It was a good day to head for a museum - any museum.

And the Olympic Museum is a fun one to visit, especially for those who are interested in sports and the history of the modern Olympics movement.
This shows the path that we had to climb to get to the entrance.
This particular statue is new - a reminder of the recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC in Canada.
We made it to the top!
Of course, the young'uns still had energy to burn!
Then they checked out the displays with audio tour headsets firmly clamped to their ears.
From the Olympic Museum, we clambered into the trusty little Nissan once again, this time to head for the Swiss "Riviera" and Chillon castle.
