Bonjour!

I’m currently in Geneva. The train trip has been awful, since the planned two stops in Karlsruhe and Basel turned out to be five stops in somwhere, Crailsheim, Stuttgart, Zurich and Bern. One track was closed since they found a bomb from the Second World War underneith or something.

Beeing several hours late, I went straight to bed this day.

The next day turned out to be a very beautiful day. It was the Swiss National Day. The weather was sunny with a clear sky. Perfect for shooting 250+ pictures in and around Geneva. I even have a slight sunburn now. In the evening, there was a big celebration in the park, with bonfire, professional fireworks and 24 detonations so loud, half of the people there must have hearing damage now.

Today, August 2nd, the sky wasn’t clear at all… 99% chance of rain. Well the famous “Jet d’eau” in the Geneva lake seemed to come from above. After a dry stay in the shopping center, I got very soaked while walking around geneva with an umbrella. Luckily the camera stayed – well, dry is the wrong word – intact, and I got some nice pictures out of it.

The WIFI Connection I snatched, is a bit flakey. So I’ll post some more pictures when I have a better connection.
Stay tuned, Rainer
