Geneva

Today we are having a short day so that the girls can get into bed relatively early for the long day we have planned for tomorrow. We headed into Geneva around 900 arriving around 1000. We started with the famous jet in the middle of the lake then headed to the art museum. There were 3 different exhibitions, a photo essay of indigenous Brazil, oil paintings by Dominique Rossborough and Swatch Memorabilia from 1984 to present. I enjoyed the oil paintings the best.

Photos to come

We then set off on the walking tour. We observed lots of beautiful architecture and we had lunch at a cute little Creperie called Le Rozelle.

We lost our way quite a few times as the map for Geneva was not as nicely laid out as the one for Lausanne. Needless to say we eventually found numerous points of interest, including Cathedral St. Pierre which had a archeological dig and a museum attached. We saw much art related to Calvin & Martin Luther. I never knew there was so much art putting them in the company of demons and Hell.

Our last adventure in Geneva was the Calvin University which had many portions under construction. We then took a different route back to the train station and passed by the waterside park. We realized we had not seen anything on the train side of the lake, these things would have to be saved for another day.

We arrived back in Penthaz shortly after 700 (900 UAE time) and attempted to start the bedtime routine. It tok awhile to get the girls into bed while Ashi and Fabio planned the itinerary for tomorrow.
