Prochain arret, Geneve

Prochain arret Geneve (French for 'next stop Geneva')

Rather than sit around unexciting Zurich another day, we took a three hour train ride to Geneva which is on the French border.


En route we passed by the major vineyard regions in Switzerland. You don't hear much about Swiss wines as they're supposedly almost entirely consumed domestically, but there seems to be quite a bit of volume from what we could see.

Geneva has much more of a French feel to it and we wish that we had more than a day to spend there. Switzerland is divided into German, French and Italian regions and from what we've seen, the French area is much more lively.

Ryan visited the flagship Davidoff store and in his opinion, it's the best cigar shop in the world.


Before departing back to Zurich, we visited the Patek Philippe Museum to view what could be the world's greatest watch collection. No cameras allowed inside so this outside photo is all we took. Inside on display was the most complicated watch in the world that the company built a couple decades ago. It was also nice to stroll around town and look at all the watches in the windows of shops as Geneva is the center of the global watch industry.

Before getting on the train back to Zurich, we went to McDonald's for a quick, cheap meal.....$10 for a Big Mac extra value meal! Isn't Europe just great.

I remember eating McDonalds in Prague last year, its was good but definitely more pricey than here. We need to go back to the cigar place at Caesar's in Vegas!
