Geneva

For our pre-graduation trip, we made a trip to Venice, Geneva, Athens and Santorini. The Geneva trip followed shortly after our trip to Venice. We flew with Swiss Air from London City Airport to Athens. Twas my 7th time flying with Swiss Airlines. We transited in Geneva. Flying via budget airlines was more expensive than a full fare airline. That's why I don't really like flying with budget airlines and often flew with full fare ones. It was a 7.5 hours transit, so we explored the city. 5 hours in the bustling city is sufficient, should you plan for a day trip in Geneva. The weather was very hot. It was 23 degrees, hot and humid. Reminded me of Malaysia.

Here are some photos as we walked:

 

 We settled down at Ristorante le Lacustre for lunch.

Jon and our bottle of Pallegrino


 Egg and clear chicken broth soup. Not bad, it's very tasty.


My marinara spaghetti. The seafood was very, very fresh. Pasta was tasty. Delicious!

After lunch we walked walked around the quay:

 Hi there!

 The quay

Being very ethnic, this is my first time seeing this type of tree that reminds me of the army uniforms.

 Cathedral
  
Here are some photos of us:

 

And finally, along the river:
