From South France we spent a day driving to Geneva. Our campsite here was not very good, right next to a quarry and near the airport but all the ones on the lake didn’t have any public transport. Geneva has a great system where visitors who stay at a hotel or campsite get free public transport for the length of the stay so we definitely wanted to make use of that!

We spent one day sightseeing in Geneva, although there’s not a whole lot to see… But it’s a very pretty city that reminded us a little bit of Canberra. There’s a lake and its surrounded by mountains and its not very busy. They also have a fountain in the middle of the lake! The Canberra one is much bigger but Geneva has the whole crystal clear, swim-able water thing happening for it. (The fact that it reminded us so much of Canberra didn’t help our homesickness!) We had a nice picnic near the lake and the fountain then wandered around for a bit. We also had a look at the outside of the United Nations building.

The next day we had a good sleep in and then headed back into the city and had a short visit with my cousin who is studying in Geneva which was very nice. Then we wandered in the park for a bit and used the free wifi there.

Switzerland is a beautiful country that we really would have liked to spend more time in but we’re slowly running out of time! We’re heading to the UK on the 10th of October and we still want to see Paris so we must continue on!
