Today Maryline and I braved the cold and took the train to Geneva. You may think from the pictures that it is a sunny day with lovely blue skies, but don't let that deceive you. Today has felt like my head has been in a boxing match with the weather. The wind has felt like someone has slapped me in the face a zillion times.
We had hoped to see the Jet d'Eau today, which is the fountain in the lake that shoots water up a few meters, but it is off season, so it wasn't operating today. We did manage to pass through the "Jardin Anglaise". I did see this in the lonely planet as a point to see, which Maryline replied with, "you've come all this way to see an English garden?"
As it was so cold and also because the lights of the high street were beaconing us, we thought we'd have a look at the shops. Unheard of for us, it was an afternoon of window shopping rather than any damage to the bank balance. But that's probably because Geneva is one of the most expensive cities in the world.
Today was my last day in Switzerland. I've had a great time. Many thanks for having me stay Maryline. Bissoux.
