Geneva

We have enjoyed Geneva, yesterday the town was buzzing with soccer fans with one of the Euro 2008 games going on in town (hence the soccer ball atop the Jet d'Eau). The weather is very mild (about 60 deg F) and slightly overcast. The sun broke out a bit this afternoon (our second day) and we enjoyed some beer along the river, not too far from our hotel.

Today we took a trolley tour of Old Town and learned more about some of the areas we had explored yesterday. We went to the bohemian town of Carouge and had some killer deserts and coffee. Yesterday we had the best Fondue I have ever tasted at Cafe du Soleil. Not a lot of places took credit cards, so we converted some more USD to CHF (Swiss Francs) at the train station today. We have our train tickets for tomorrow mornings 3 hour train ride to Interlaken. We are looking forward to heading up to Jungfrau tomorrow morning from Interlaken). Here in Geneva, it is very international, mostly French is spoken. We have been able to get by with English, but have needed interpreters in a few spots along the way. Interlaken is supposed to be an area where German is spoken primarily, so I am brushing up on my phrases tonight. We enjoyed paninis from a local vendor and some wine and treats out on our balcony at the hotel this evening, getting to bed early for tomorrow. Hopefully we will have WiFi in Interlaken, so I can keep blogging, good night!
