Back entry #1 Selected Photos from Geneva


My First Hotel Room in Geneva


Religious wall connected with the University of Geneva at Parc Basttion

Giant Chess Boards in Parc Bastion, I played against Simon Later in the week and won, naturally :P

The Peace Palace, Location of the United Nations in Geneva

The Human Spirit, a display at the museum of the International Committee of the Red Cross

My tour guide at the UN standing in front of a Tapestry donated by China. The tour was kind of disappointing as I knew more about the UN system than my tour guide. I had to stop myself from correcting him several times
I Liked the museum of the ICRC so much that I returned a second time with Simon, this is the Geneva Headquarters of the ICRC behind me
Exhibit outside the museum

La Jet D'Eau a main attraction in Geneva

I spent Saturday with these two lovely fellows, Simon from England and Wai from Malaysia, traveling around the city.
The view from the top of a large Protestant Cathedral in Geneva. You can't see it in the picture but there was a large rainbow stretched across the North part of the city.

Lake Geneva. Taken from the Botanical Gardens on my last morning in Geneva. Note the swans (of which there are hundreds on the lake) and the mountains in the clouds off in the distance. Beautiful

So I really shouldn't be using my time in the office to update my blog but since I can't do it from home this will just have to do. Below see some of my many pictures from beautiful Geneva.
