Left Lake Como early morning for the long drive back to France. Travelled through the tunnels on the east shore of Lake Como with Gill and Nicky experiencing a deja vous feeling!!!! Expensive run on the Italian motorway and the the Mont Blanc tunnel to Chamonix. Also left the sun behind in Italy and arrived to cool cloudy weather in France but it soon picked up and was lovely and sunny by the time we arrived at our lovely campsite at Neydens 10km south of Geneva. A swim was greatly appreciated although the evening temperatures meant a few more clothes were in order.
A cool start and an early morning walk to catch a bus into Geneva. We caught the bus from Vitam Park which is a mecca for fitness fanatics. It has the best climbing wall any of us have ever seen. A good easy bus ride the the of Geneva. Once there we found preparations well underway for the end of their month long festival. The biggest firework display was being set up along the lakes shore. Because of all this activity it was difficult to get an impression of what Geneva would be like normally!! We saw the old town bought expensive latte machiatats but had a very enjoyable look at the city. Dave went cookoo clock hunting but was desvastated not to find one. Nicky, the adrenalin junkie went on a sky ride looked brill but not for the rest of us. Used our bus rover ticket to take four boat rides across the lake, lovely views of the city. Then bus ride home, another excellent day so far.
