Geneva was incredible. The proximity of our hotel to the red light district was unparalleled. The Mexican food was more expensive than any other food in Europe. And the city was full of stuff I couldn't afford. Like Rolls Royce Phantoms.
However, it was so beautiful. The city was clean and even in the overcast weather people were flocking to the lake front and drinking beers.
Before Geneva, I had never seen a hooker. I kept asking Hunter, "is that one?" or "what about that lady?" I even saw a hooker with an umbrella. It was like she was a real person standing on a street corner in the rain.
The second biggest tourist attraction in Geneva is this: (The water jet thingy behind Hunter's giant head.)
The highlights include the ultra boring Patek Phillipe museum. I do not recommend this as part of your itinerary in Geneva unless you like classical music, whispering, and 3 floors of watches.
We also visited the natural history museum because it was free. The best part was on the first level where we found this gem:
One humorous thing that happened: We met a gem of a German guy in St. Pierre's Cathedral. While we were climbing the exhaustive single file only stairs, this genius decided he was going to walk down. Meanwhile, there were ten people walking up. The cathedral has tried to avoid this problem by installing traffic lights. So when we met this guy he was forcing his way down the stairs and he yelled, "the light was green, there will be no mercy!" (say that in a German accent) It has now become our motto to yell this - especially on the autobahn.
Ps- sorry for the mis-sized photos. It's tough on the iPad to type, let alone edit the HTML. :(
