Geneva Times Three

Published by WeiHu under Switzerland

I return to Geneva to catch my flight which is at 6am. Saideh, a fellow East High Blue Ace, has agreed to host me. She has been working Geneva for a while now. She gives me a tour of some of her favorite parts including a really nice roast chicken restaurant. It was pretty fun [...]

Laosanne & Lucern

The two L cities were all that I could squeeze into my Switzerland tour before my plane leaves for Morocco. My next stop is Lausanne. Our hostel is near the train station and a good half hour walk to the lake. The lake area is picturesque like many parts of Switzerland. The water blends into [...]

Extreme Whitewater Rafting: Interlacken, Part I

Published by WeiHu under Switzerland

We all decide that having sampled most of what Geneva has to offer, we should probably get going and see more of Switzerland. Our next destination is Interlocken. Interlocken is well known in the backpacker’s community and has always been a definite destination for me. It is known as the outdoor/extreme sport capital of Europe. [...]

Refuge in Geneva?

Published by WeiHu under Switzerland

Switzerland is my escape from the Schengen Visa’s 90day limitation which I’ve probably already gone over. I use my last train pass on the last day of validity from Paris Gare de Nord to Geneva Switzerland. There at 11pm I am to meet my friend Anh and Hyunh who I met back in Granada. Anh [...]
