The train to Geneva was quite uneventful, except for fact that we had not yet touched basis with Richard and were unsure if we had a place to stay that night. We also learned shortly after leaving Munich that we would be going through Austria for a bit, and thus had to pay for our short time in that country (as our train ticket only allowed us to travel in France, Germany & Switzerland).
By the time we had arrived in Geneva, it was night and we had finally caught up with Richard. Over the next day we saw most of old Geneva, enjoyed a night of sleep on a half blown up air mattress (which was fixed the next day!) and got to know all of Richard's new apartment by the lake. The highlight of our time in Switzerland was really in France, where we went to see the Alps and were delighted with fantastic views and wonderful hot cheese meal!
Check list:
- Geneva Lake and 140 mts (460ft) water fountain (right from Richard's balcony!)
- Raclette cheese and potatoes, cold cuts & bread meal
- Alguille du Midi – 3842mts! (12,000ft!)
- Chamonix and Alps, an amazing sight to see
- Swiss watches (to be best bought in Madrid airport…)
- Riding in car with Richard in Geneva...hopefully the Swiss drivers will figure him out shortly!
