B/fast at hotel. Pack up and take an express train at 12.17 pm to Geneva. Arrive 12.50 pm - on time as the trains always are in this part of the world.
Our hotel is right by the water overlooking Rive du Rhone with the famous Jet éau (jet fountain). We have a comer room on the third floor with a tourist brochure view of the jet and out to the lake. The steamers that service the Swiss and French towns along the lake are reminiscent of Agatha Christie times and we expect to see Hercule Pirot disembark at any moment.
Walk across Pont Mont Blanc to city centre for lunch at Café du Centre.
In the afternoon we explore the Old City; its aged buildings look very well maintained. Back down the hill we take a trolley bus to Carouge – an area with Mediterranean buildings and built by a Svaoian king to rival Geneva on the trade routes. Today it is a fashionable suburb of Geneva and listed as an area of historical importance in Switzerland. Return 7 pm.
Dinner at Bistrot du Boeuf - Lyonnaise cusine specializing in steaks. Classic old French bistro décor. Kwan tries to order steak well done the old waiter gives her a frown and attitude. Philip orders the set menu. However, while we are waiting for dessert menu, we are handed the bill. Instead of offering us a dessert menu or coffee, the old Frenchman just deducted 7 euros for dessert. Kwan is not happy but Philip says it’s all part of the fun of travelling.
