Geneva Switzerland
Random Thought.
You never get the change to say….
Today I was in Germany, now I am in Switzerland, yesterday I was in Italy….
Who says that? Or how about using three or four different currencies!!!
Geneva has been referred to as the world's most compact metropolis and the "Peace Capital.”
In 2009, Geneva was ranked as the fourth most expensive city in the world.
Little did we know… we rode the train…
Then we were starving so we go to McDonalds…
Never did I ever think that I would spend $17 on a Big Mac and Fries!
GEVEVA
Our hotel is about 3 blocks from Lake Geneva. It is gorgeous and the mountains surround the Lake. The lake has a really cool jet waterfall called. LakeJet d'Eau. You can see it over the buildings and pumped up 140m into the air. You can walk on a pathway leading right up to the jet d’eau! If the wind is moving in the right direction you can get soaking wet!
United Nations
The International Red Cross and museum is across the street from the UN. We got a tour. Vladimir Putin, the Russian prime minister, Switzerland President, and Tanzania president was at the UN as well as a labor convention. The tour was cut short because of the conferences but it was interesting.
Bucherer
We took a tour of Bucherer. It is a famous jewlrey company that has a tight bond with Rolex. We saw many watches and learned about the company. We saw a limited edition Rolex (less than 40 made) worth $500,000.
Rug Shop
We went to a rug shop and learned about the company. How many rug shops have I been to in Europe? I think like 5!? I think I can officially sell rugs now!
This watch shop gave us a tour. It is insane! They made everything with their bare hands. A watch can have over 300 small pieces and they make all of it looking through a microscope! I could not do it!
Tomorrow we go to PARIS! Weee!!! WEEE!!! WEEE!
AU REVOIR!
