Genevea – Free Time

30/05/2010
Another weekend and more free-time! I made arrangement to stay in Genevea with a classmate where we were originally planning to do a little hiking and some sight-seeing. Unfortunately my fellow classmate had become sick. We booked beds on a night train, but some man had decided to spread his belongings over the beds we had reserved. This upset the conductor who said a few choice words to the man, but then unlocked his own private room on the train for us. There were two freshly made beds, plenty of room for all of our belongings, and a door that locked. I slept quite well!
When we arrived in the early morning, we decided to go back to bed. After sleeping in late, we made a trip to the grocery store and I cooked some fresh linguini. We then went for a pleasant walk along the water. A huge fountain sprayed water high into the air as several swans graced the water’s surface. We stopped for ice cream on the way back and washed our laundry before bed.
In the morning we caught up on more sleep and visited a pharmacy to purchase some medicine. That afternoon we made it back to the train station and boarded a train to Basel to meet the rest of the group.
