Strolling around Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains & Morges
My Dad and my brother have been visiting us in Switzerland for a few days and we've taken advantage of that to discover some Swiss gems. Follow us to the beautiful cities of Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains and Morges!
Cologny
Cologny is a municipality in the Canton of Geneva, just in front of my office across Lake Leman. It houses the World Economic Forum and plenty of houses belonging to millionaires. You can reach Cologny by foot (although it is uphill and very steep) or by bus.
A busy weekend with friends: UN Open Day, Chillon castle, Lausanne & Geneva
A couple of Spanish friends came to Geneva to pay me a visit and we spent a very busy weekend full of activities around the city. In addition to strolling around Geneva, I invited them to the United Nations headquarters, where an Open Day took place. We also visited the famous Chillon castle on lake Léman and the Olympic city of Lausanne.
Zurich
Last Friday afternoon we took the train from Geneva to Zurich. It took us almost 3 hours to get there but the ride, which went by the lake for a while, was very pleasant. The arrival to Zurich's Hauptbahnhof and the sight of the Landesmuseum (the Swiss National Museum) next to it were impressive too.
First impressions of Geneva
It's only been two weeks since I moved from Washington DC to Geneva and I am enjoying summer here. Life is been quite hectic as I started a new job, I'm adapting to the city and I'm looking for an apartment. Let me tell you about my first impressions of this Swiss city!
10 hours in Geneva
After leaving Washington DC for good yesterday, I landed in Geneva early this morning to just spend ten hours in the city. I still can´t believe my American adventure is now over! I think the view of the Swiss stunning landscapes, with high peaks and wide rivers, will stay in my memories forever though.
