La Rade

A day exploring and relaxing in Geneva, Swizerland.

We met some american folk in Starbucks who were travelling around europe for a month by train. They were from Chicago, and were explaining to us how they managed to get a ticket to travel anywhere in Europe for a month for 500 euros - bargain. It turned out that they like to go camping at Crystal Lake in Wisconsin, where Dan went on his Pirate camping trip.

Following on from central Geneva, we travelled north east along the lakeshore, working our way back to the camp site. We spent the evening at the site which was complete with showers, giant chess board and an area to swim in the lake.

We finished the day with a dip in lake Genva and a meal of pasta, in a creamy tomato sauce with some marinaded fish (the fish was premarinated - we tried it in the super market and liked it so much we had to have some), acompanied by assorted swiss cheeses, and a sandwich of brie on a crusty swiss style bread.

It was a beautiful evening... excepting the mosquitos.Weiterlesen
