Geneva




Hi all--arrived safely in Geneva after a great Air France flight; luggage and bike arrived safely. (not necessarily in order of importance). Arrived at our hotel and had dinner there--cheese fondue. Let's just say, Vern is not a fan.... Today (Friday) we went on a tour of Switzerland (yes, you can see the entire country in one day!). Stopped at Cailler (chocolate factory)--Vern IS a big fan, Gruyeres (see pix of Chateau Gruyeres), Golden Pass train ride from Lausanne to Montreaux and wine in Vevay. Had pizza and beer, followed up by really good gelato (Vern and I both fans). Tomorrow we take a boat ride on Lake Leman (Geneva) and a walk through old town Geneva. Speaking French is a challenge; so far we have "Parlez vous Anglais?" down pat.
