Visiting Geneva

Finally the weekends and a chance to do something in Geneva.  Although I did not manage to get a free bike from CERN, there were free four hour bike rentals waiting for me in Geneva. Genèveroule is a voluntary organization with at five spots in the city where you can rent a bike for zero swiss franc.  All you need is some identification papers and an address of your hotel.  Here are some of the pictures I took.

Some random street photo soon after I got off the tram from CERN to Coutance.

Tram terminal.  Nice and clean tram.

View from the Tourist Information building.  You can see the Jet d'Eau.

View from another angle.

Old model boats that carry tourist across Lake Geneva.

I was cycling along the lake.  Nice weather coupled with a nice view of the surrounding lakes makes it an unforgettable journey.

Weekend market?  Looks like any other market in Europe.

A nice little crepe restaurant beside Cathedral St. Pierre.

Cathedral St. Pierre

A portion of the poster about the reformation.

This photo didn't turn out as it was supposed to.  You are supposed to be able to see the 'seven' colours of the rainbow  due to the water droplets from the fountain.

The United Nations office in Geneva.  Closed during weekends.  Did not stop tourists from taking photos.  Heh..

Ariana, a museum of glass and ceramics.

The red cross museum.  Closed until 2013. Sad.

Fondue pots!  So many different designs of it.
