Switzerland

Lake Geneva- It had a water-ski course and a ramp...how much fun!

The famous fountain

On one of the tourist boats that take you across the lake.  I believe this was free.  We just rode it across and then came back.

The flower clock...this reminded me of the one near Niagara Falls

Cheese fondue...I have to admit I was really disappointed this night.  I was so hungry and we had been waiting to eat fondue in Switzerland.  They put so much alcohol in the fondue that I could not even eat the cheese and ended up eating bread and butter for dinner.

We took a tour from Geneva over into France to see the Alps and Mont Blanc.  We stopped here on the way because of the exquisite views.

Here you can see a little dot of a hiker on the snow-capped mountain.  This was quite a temperature change from Greece where we had been .  104 deg. F to 30 deg. F with 40 mph winds!!

We met a girl from China who is living in Denmark.

We got some hot chocolate at the top of the mountain.  We were between 12-13,000 feet above sea level, and that morning had started down at the lake.  

We grabbed lunch at a little place that served cheese and cinnamon soup.  It was different, but good.

Our tour took us through some more beautiful scenery and to a place where we could hike to an ice cave.

The next day we took a train to Basal and dropped Josh off since he was taking classes in Europe for the remainder of the summer.  Brenda and I looked around, but since it was Sunday there were hardly any restaurants open and it was very expensive, so we ate at McDonald's for lunch and dinner before catching our overnight train to Amsterdam...not really our favorite!!  However, we were given bathroom codes since we ate there and were able to "get ready for bed" there.
