Part 2:
On Sunday we took a short drive just a few villages yonder on the shores of Lac Leman to visit one of the most visited historic sites in Switzerland:
Chateau de Chillon. Chillon's history dates back to the 11th century. It is a massive castle / fort, made up of over 100 smaller buildings or units that got connected over time. It was a site to behold, and lucky for us, the place of medeival reenactments for the weekend. This meant that the castle and the yard were full of people dressed in period costumes, acting the part of castle folk. We walked around for a couple of hours, visited the dungeon, saw Lord Byron's name carved into the wall, climbed a few towers, and took in the site of the lake from the castle rooms.

Following a fondue dinner across the street in the tavern, we went down by the lake to play and watch the setting sun:
