Backpackering 12 - Day 4

 


After a short night stop over in Geneva, to the cafe 


for breakfast, Swiss Bircher Muesli


where the sparrows helped you to finish it off.


Curious about the structure behind Gek's head, we headed to the lake.
 

The Brunswick Monument. Of course I immediately thought, what is Brunswick UK got to do with Geneva? Answer,  nothing.  It is Germanys Brunswick. Charles II the Duke of Brunswick of the 19th century bequeathed his entire estate to Geneva,  on condition they created a memorial for him there. Sorted. (Wikipedia)


A 50 min bus ride from Geneva found us in


Annecy, our home for the next 5 nights.


First, an Italian lunch at a Napoli restaurant sat below a painting of an earlier, posher Annecy 


before finding our accomo, a 1950s style flat


close by some older, more traditional Swiss architecture.
