Geneva, Switzerland

This morning (Monday 14 June) we packed up the campervan and returned it to the rental place in Lyon before heading off to the train station for our trip through to Geneva. We arrived at the station at about 11am but weren't on the train until just after 3pm (see post below) and into Geneva just before 5pm. Considering the very long delays, the kids did a fantastic job (thank you Nintendo DS).
This is our first trip into Switzerland and a very exciting new experience. While campervanning around southern France over the past two weeks was awesome, we were ready to hand back the camper and get a little more space in a motel room for a few nights.
After checking into our motel across the road from the train station, we went down to Lac Leman (pictured) to see Mont Blanc and the impressive water fountain before having some dinner at a nearby restaurant.
Tomorrow we pack up again and head off for a couple more hours on the train to Luzern, also in Switzerland, before then driving on to Austria on Thursday.
