While Rosie and Nicholas were away for their music class, The Beatles and the Geordie twins decided to take a walk around Westminster and Piccadilly. As they were walking, several people stopped and stared in amazement at the band. The mop-topped lads themselves were still adjusting to the present times. This was evident when Ringo pointed and said, "Look! There's a giant Ferris wheel. I've never seen one located across Big Ben before!" Scruffy explained, "That's the London Eye. It's actually an observation wheel." Buzzy added, "Riding it allows you to see a panoramic view of the city. Especially when you reach the top. We already rode it once with Rosie and Nicholas." John commented, "That's veddy interesting." "We should ride it with you next time." Said George. "Certainly!" Replied Scruffy. The band was also enthralled by the animated adverts in Piccadilly, and upon entering one of the souvenir shops, were pleasantly surprised when they saw their images and logo in many items. They returned to the university at around the same time Rosie's and Nicholas' class ended, and they met each other again as they arrived back at the dorm. The Beatles and the twins then told them about their enjoyable walk. Rosie commented, "I'm glad you had a great time together." Nicholas asked the band, "Would you like to meet our professor and classmates tomorrow?" Paul replied, "Sure! That would be really nice." "It sure would!" Exclaimed Ringo. This made the friends smile and very excited about introducing the Beatles to their class personally, and the adjustment process for the lads is going quite well.

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 next 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 photography 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 more time. The first museum that we visited was the Alimentarium Food 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 by 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 food 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, or the "Château de Chillon", as it is locally called. I was excited for this, as I will be going inside a castle for the very first time. I've always been fascinated by them. My father also took a break from his work so he can visit the castle with us. We got a discount for our tickets after showing our visitor card. The castle 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 dinner 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 day was. We told him that we had lots of fun together, to which he responded, "I am very happy to know that you 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.
