Switzerland

Day 12

sunny 32 °C

Our first full day in Geneva was definitely a busy one. We got up and were out the door before 10, and stopped at a little cafe for croissants and a salad for brunch before doing a little more shopping. Early afternoon, we caught the tram up to the United Nations, took some pictures of the plaza, and toured the Red Cross Museum. After a few detours (and another stop at Starbucks), we made our way to Lake Geneve, saw the "famous" fountain (which wasn't really all that spectacular), enjoyed the sunshine, and walked around the Old City. We ended up eating at the same place we did last night (and it was delicious, again). After scouting out the main street for some more Swiss chocolate, we headed back to our hostel to pack and are planning on staying in tonight and getting a good nights rest for our journey to Paris tomorrow morning. Talk to you soon.

Day 11

Geneva

sunny 22 °C

Hello!(Thats right, we can say hello and people here understand us!!)
So after enjoying one last meal and one last italian gelato, Kristin and I said Arrividercci to our now beloved Italy. We woke up at 6:45 this morning after a late night of packing and terrible sleep (it was awfully hot), and we caught an 8:30am train to Geneva. We arrived only 4 hours later, and found our hostel with record breaking speed and accuracy! A.K.A we didn't get lost or end up wandering aimlessly! Within 15 minutes of being off the train, we had found our place, locked up our bags, and were headed out the door for a late lunch. The hostel is BY FAR the nicest one we have stayed in yet, and after checking the train schedule, we are excited about spending not one, but two days in the lovely city of Geneva before heading to Paris. The prospect of spending some time in a place that speaks primarily English and French is really exciting for both of us!
As promised, here are a few more pictures from our adventures in Italy!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love Kristin and Kare.
