Geneva (December 3 and 4)

Well, we made our way out to Geneva to stay with my godmother Marie-Ursula. It was really wonderful to be in another part of Switzerland. On the way there we drove through the little roads, avoiding the highways. It was absolutely stunning…



Then we stopped in Gruyere for lunch… and saw the cheese factory!!!!
I won't go into detail explaining the process of making the cheese because it would take me a long time… but I'll show a few pictures :D
 Where the cheese ages…
 Big copper pots used for mixing the milk...
The metal dishes are the moulds for the cheese after the cream and whey have been separated.

We arrived in Geneva at exactly 5PM, we went out into the middle of the lake for a fondue dinner.

The Next Day was a very interesting day. Marie-Ursula, Papa, Sofi and I went on a tour of the United Nations building. We even got to sit in on a conference!!! We also visited the Red Cross Museum. It was really interesting.

 Later we walked around downtown Geneva...

 I must say that I'm very proud of this picture. It's the church in Geneva from a cool angle...
 The whole city is lit up with interesting lights hanging from the trees.
 A poster for the Hobbit!!! This wasn't really that major but I know some of you would be very interested to see this :D
 Then we made our way to France for Dinner. We ate in the town Ferney-Voltaire. It was really dark and misty.
