Travel Thursday: Lake Geneva

Last November Rob and I took a train down to Geneva from Paris. Just a wee day trip, but oh, it was so lovely. The train ride was the most beautiful thing - we spent most of the time climbing through autumn leaves and then even further up into snow covered trees and mountains. It was just stunning.

The day itself was very brisk, but we walked for hours and had lots of hot chocolate to warm us. At the end of the day we took a cruise on the lake and got some views of stunning properties. It was very cloudy, but just before we hopped back on the train it started to lift a little and we got some views of the flanks of Mt Blanc. Which, being thje rock geek I am I was most excited about.

Here are some pictures of our views of the lake... Enjoy!

Makes me smile but also shiver looking back at these. But wow, such a beautiful place. I love how the architecture combined with the the cloudy day seems almost baroque style. Anyway, we had a lovely day. I am excited to share it with you.

And, if you have been around these parts for awhile, you will know that Travel Thursday is all about sharing your memories, near or far! So come hang out with Laurie and I and get sharing!!

Travel Thursday - St Pierre Cathedral, Geneva

Today's Travel post is a beautiful spot we visited on an icy day in Geneva. St Pierre Cathedral sits on a hill in the "Old Town" of Geneva on the right bank of the Rhone River. It is just stunning, and I am so glad that we went exploring and found it.

Here are a few snaps of the Cathedral. Enjoy xx

Laurie and I are one step closer to creating a Travel Thursday link up.. Next step, code for the button and a functioning link up!

Photo du Jour - Lake Geneva

We took a train to Geneva for the day today. The view on the ride down was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced. Two of three hours of the trip was through snow covered fields and mountains. Absolutely stunning. We both agreed that the ride down was worth the effort of the trip alone. 

However, if you are traveling at 200 km/hr, photos of Narnia-esque landscape don't really turn out how you are seeing them... So here are some swans in the freshest water I have seen in nearly a year.
