We arrived n Geneva early in the morning and tumbled out of the train sleepy, in search of coffee but excited that we had managed to pull off an early start. After visiting the tourist office and obtaining a map and a list of things to do we headed out into the deserted streets along the river with the early joggers of the morning.
Geneva is a clean city (especially after coming from Lyon), with beautiful old architecture and watch stores and Swiss Army knife stores everywhere – actually. We took our time as we wandered to the main park – finding a children’s merry-go-round of sorts and had too much fun spinning (for the ones with tough stomachs).
We found a free science museum which was SO cool as it had a bunch of interactive activities outside which drew us in. One of them, in this picture here uses the magnifying glass to heat up a mini canon and it will shoot at midday. Other exciting experiments included old telescopes, optical illusions, and a lot of old instruments used in meteorology, as well as astrology. The building itself was a museum with intricate detailed paintings on the walls and ceiling.
