I took the 8:11 train to Geneva from Paris. I sat beside a lovely man. He was Polish but had lived in Paris and Geneva but was currently living in Moscow, working in France and holidaying in Switzerland. Three different men helped me with my bags...
My french isn't great but I'm pretty sure this says only 30% fat.. Typical French food...
Got to Geneva and checked into the room. It was really fresh and new and super cheap because I booked at the last minute. (Normally over $300 a night and I got it for $100...)
Then I took the tram to the flea market. It was great. All sorts of stuff like watches, jackets, furniture, knickknacks etc... I bought a pair of boots, a delicious meringue treat, two pairs of earrings and the worlds best hot chocolate.
Old saddle and pack frame
Cool guy on segway wheelchair
Picnic bag made of very real leather
A heap of watch bits
There were so many places selling watches!Then caught the tram to the United Nations area and visited the Red Cross museum.
The original Geneva convention... Then I dropped stuff back at the room and went to book a ticket on the glacier express for Friday. This took so long I missed the last boat across the lake to see the water jet (which was also turned off) So I just watched the sunset. It was very beautiful.
The water in the lake was so clear!
They had pruned some of the trees but not others
At dinner I tried to work out when to leave in the morning. It was at this time I realised the St Bernard walk was in a town 1hr from where I thought it was.
So I decided to catch the 7:30 train and go straight to the St Bernard museum then take the two trains and a bus to where I had booked the walk.
Early night and off to Martigny tomorrow!
