    Geneva

    January 29, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    In Geneva, we arrived to our airbnb 1/26/23 right next to the tram station around midnight, and purchased our tickets for our day trip. Then, we spent the second half of the day in Geneva 1/27/23. We went to the Patek Philippe museum, which was amazing! There were 3 levels of the entire Patek Philippe collection and watch history. We also walked around downtown and got the famous Auer Swiss chocolate (amazing milk chocolate truffles), and then had Chinese food for dinner because everything else was expensive. Then, we tried to go to the Baths on Lake Geneva, but it was too late and the water was freezing and splashed Ethan. We went to bed early for our Chamonix trip. We got up in the morning of 1/29/23 to spend the morning in Geneva. We walked past Old Geneva and the waterfront, and saw the Jet, the tallest fountain in the world. The water was blue with swans in it, and all of the buildings had a Paris vibe to them, but the Old Geneva buildings had a medieval touch. We ate at an amazing Swiss sausage and cheese and potato fondue restaurant called Les Armures in Old Geneva, and it is where all of the famous presidents go to eat. After walking around Old Geneva for a bit, we looked through the architecture and old battle cannons, and then went into the political section of the city. We saw the UN building, the WTO, and the WHO, and then we headed towards the airport to go home.Read more
