We woke up early, too early for breakfast. It was raining. Found out it takes 3 hours to go from Zurich to Geneva by train. And an hour to get the Zurich. The first tain out was 4:54 AM. The flight from the US with every one arrived at 7:40. Not 8:40 like we thought. So we missed breakfast and got to enjoy the Swiss train system. Sunrise was pretty as it stopped raining while we were on the train.
Everyone had to wait at the Geneva airport about an hour since we had all the train tickets and the Swiss airport is so efficient at getting people out of the plane and into the country. The 2 old ladies in the front decided not to join our group. | ![]() The group at the airport |
