Return to the Most Expensive Country of 22 Skiddoo

I Didn't Ride This One

1. See the European Campus for the United Nations.
2. Spend a couple of hours on Lake Geneva.

For some reason, I wanted to see this campus.
Upon arrival, I learned I had to go in with a guided tour one km down the road, reservations need to be made ahead of time, and there was no way I could visit during the short time I was going to be in Geneva.
I walked around to see what I could see.

Not One Breath of Wind to Flutter a Flag

European Offices of the UN

Peace

Does the EU Promote As Much Peace As It Pretends

Not Far from the Peace Mural

Not a Leg to Stand On

...Not Really

Oh well, I had a good walk and rode the city bus to parts of the city away from the old town.

Fountain Was Originally a Method to Relieve Pressure

I spent a good deal of time hanging around the Jardin de Anglais (English Garden)
for several reasons:

- I was misinformed that tours were available there.
- I knew how to find it on bus or foot no matter where else I roamed.
- It was very hot; I became disgruntled more than once and people watching from a bench in the shade rejuvenated me.
- It is a pleasant place.
Many of the Geneva tour boats leave from the park. I took a three-hour ride just to be cool on the water one afternoon. It did a lot for my attitude and I didn't even buy anything from the 1st Class bar.

If I Had a Friend I Would Rent a Boat Instead of Riding On One

I spent a lot of effort trying to find an English language walking tour or a bus tour. For some reason even though several are listed online, the Tourist Information can't provide much information and the only bus had mechanical failures this week.
I managed to get around with Google Maps on my own. One positive was that when I inserted the Swisscom Sim card I purchased way back in Bern it still had data time on it!
Some photos to remind me of what I saw:

Is This a Tuning Fork

Carousel in the Plaza

Fountain Is It Modern or Antique

Another Astounding Organ Hardly Ever Heard
