Genf


Yesterday I journeyed south with M on my second visit to Romandie. Our destination: Geneva. Despite the struggles of an early rise (for a Saturday), we were soon on the 0903 train from Basel SBB and rolled up just under three hours later.

We first had some lunch and then wandered down to the lake to see the famous fountain. It was massive. Then we walked into the old town and just ambled up and down the streets, basking in the 17c sunshine. This was, of course, very conductive to sitting on a terrace drinking beer, and it doesn't take us long to jump at such an opportunity. More wandering was followed by more beer and Chinese food, before we got the train back up to the NW.

It was a great day, even if I didn't understand a word of what was going on around me. But who wants to speak French, anyway?

  1. Sounds nice! It's more mulled wine by the fire than beer on a terrace-weather here in Alnwick!
