Geneva Switzerland

Geneva is known for being the seat of several United Nations organizations. Tourists in this amazing city will find plenty more to see, such as the Jet d'Eau fountain which shoots nearly 500 feet in the air, or the Flower Clock - a massive, real timekeeper made of over 6,000 flowers. There are also works by Monet and Van Gogh shown in the art museum, and, being Geneva (a city famous for watch-making), a watch museum as well. There are plenty of special sights in Geneva you will not find anywhere else!


arrived in Geneva after one of the hardest journeys yet. It was a 12 hour bus trip starting 12.30 midnight and ending at 2.30pm the next day. The bus arrived an hour late and arrived in Geneva two hours late. While passing through France there was two border securites one of which resulted in everyone taken off the bus all luggage taken out and a sniffer dog. This process lasted for a good half an hour. The final bord of security resulted in one of our fellow bus passangers being removed from the bus and never returning (we are still un aware of what happened). So as you can imagine we were very exhusted once we arrived in this city.

The Red Cross museum

Geneva, However (dispite all odds) did boost our spirits. Geneva was a very good introductory to the very beautiful Switzerland. While in Geneva we visited the Geneva Convention Center and saw all the different nations flag blowing in the wind leading uop to it's entrance. We also visted the Red Cross Museum. It talked about the introdution of the red cross foundation and how the Geneva convention began (very moving museum). The center was also holding an extra exhibition discussing the still very powerful and negitive uses of walls or barriers separting
