Earlier in the day it was more of the same. A leisurely start and then hit the wine trail. The first was in walking distance and had some excellent wines (we bought the Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc) and also gave us the opportunity to try Malakoff, a traditional Vaud dish of cheese,eggs and milk spread onto bread and deep fried. Delicious.
The day was only marred slightly by the nearly hour wait for the shuttle bus after the 3rd winery, but the sun was shining, the swallows and red kites were flying. There's probably worse things to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
I want to go there! so badly do you have the precise address to the Cementery, I am in Besancon, France but I can get to Lausanne and then I don´t know where to go, please let me know the way I really want to visit her grave she is my biggest life inspiration!!
ReplyDeletethanks
Bea - I'm so pleased you managed to find my blog. The Cemetery is in Tolochenaz, just outside Morges a few miles west of Lausanne.
ReplyDeleteI think this Google map is pretty much spot on the location: http://g.co/maps/3h98p and there are more details at http://www.hepburntribute.com/grave.html
The cemetery is very small and on a small mound a few meters away from the road, next to what I think is a sports centre.
If you read my previous blog entries you will know that before arriving at Morges we stayed at Camping de la Plage, Besancon and it was an easy and very pretty drive over the low mountains to Pontarlier and on to Morges.
I do hope you manage to make the trip - if you do please write back here of your experience.
Bonne Chance
Brian
