After struggling to the summit of Mt Blanc it was time to relax and see some of Switzerland (and bits of Italy, and France) with Jasmijn. So we hired a car in Geneva, collected a Swiss hostel guide, and off we went! Don't miss the published story of this adventure!

Lac Leman pier with Jasmijn. Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) is stunning, and Geneva is small, cosmopolitan and beautiful. It's home to many of the world's great institutions, including the UN and Red Cross.
UN HQ. The UN has public tours. The book shop alone makes them worthwhile.
Spanish room 1. One of the hundreds of meeting rooms at the UN. The 1st Spanish Room was so successful they donated a second. The ceiling took years to create and will doubtless cause an international incident, should a 'stalactite' drop onto a delegate's head.
Spanish room 2. This one was donated by Spain and an agreement to end one of the World Wars was signed here.
Venus fly traps. The botanic gardens has a great carnivorous plant collection. As a kid I used to collect these.
Cobra lillies
You can walk/run the Lake Geneva promenades for miles.
Montreaux is 1.5 hours along the shore of Lac Leman. There's a great youth hostel on the shore, and you can take a cog train high into the mountains.
