This quaint wine producing town offers great views of the lake.<br /><br />The HOTEL- <a href="http://www.barontavernier.ch/">LE BARON TAVERNIER</a> is a stop worth as their Restaurant - <a href="http://www.barontavernier.ch/">LE DECK</a> has one of the most magnicifent views of Lake Geneva. It is recommended to RESERVE if you are going for dinner there.<br /><br />After coasting down the hill side at speeds of anywhere between 50 Km and 60 KM per HOUR, you will hit the lakeside town of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cully,_Vaud">CULLY</a>, another great wine town. Do stop off and taste some of their famous <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/drinking/wine_dictionary/entry?id=5856">Chasselas </a>White wines down at the harbour.

The Beau Rivage Palace's Spa can be recommended for any triathlete who wants to forget the competition and soak in their <a href="http://www.bornrich.org/entry/beau-rivage-palace-cinq-mondes-luxury-spa/">World Famous Cinq Mondes SPA.</a><br /><br />If you are an athlete and you want to connect with home, it is good to know that the city of Lausanne has <a href="http://www.lausanne.ch/view.asp?CurOS=1&DomID=63318">Free Wireless</a> throughout Lausanne. Furthermore, if you find yourself down near the Starting line of this year's triathlon (near the Port de la Navigation), you can freely access the WIFI.<br /><br />I will be posting during the next few days, so if you have any comments or queries make sure to post to this BLOG.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
