Geneva

Highlight of Geneva was a party carnival through the streets in the afternoon, and walking around the waterfront.
 
We also found a large but somewhat secluded park behind the main part of the city where we could sit in the shade.
There were several comic moments, namely... BC, or "British Columbia" as several people thought, the Mr Sex pose in front of the fountain.
 
And the more majestic of all - washing our underwear in the sink using the cheap and nasty Cardinal beer to swish it around.
And with that malarky our time in Switzerland had come to a close. Very very different experiences to our time in Scandinavia.
Geneva scores... 7.5/10 I think. Everything scores less now compared to Lausanne. Some very nice bits but some more busy and harder to connect with bits.
Best things: The gay pride section of the carnival. Tom buying instant noodles from the shop for tea and forgetting to put the flavouring in and so having the best meal ever :D Browny getting his hair cut and mistakenly died ginger in the process :D
Worst things: The German films we watched in the hostel.
Return Visit? Perhaps on a more cultural level.
Switzerland as a whole then:
Experiences in Switzerland: I can't be bothered to average previous ratings, so I'll go for a 9/10 I think. Awesome times, and extremely beautiful weather and scenery.
Glad we went: Completely glad I pushed for la Swiss to be on the SVONE!
Favourite bit: Climbing the rocks at Lausanne, looking out onto the lake.
Next Time: Moving to Lausanne...? And checking it out in the winter, spot of skiing perhaps.
Only one more country to go! :O
