Lake Geneva Lake Geneva Lake Geneva

We stayed very close to the lake, the only way we could have gotten closer was if we were on a boat!
From Lacanau we headed east, across France to Switzerland, 7 hours driving, one currency change and Hello Lake Geneva!

We stayed in a little town right on the lake called Nyon. It was such a pretty place. Where we stayed was pretty posh, lots of Porches in car park. We were that stuffed from driving that we just went to the restaurant in the hotel. There were all these fireworks and bungers going off in the park next door right in fromt of the Marina, we went to investigate and they had a massive bonfire on what is normally the skateboard ramp. Trying to figure our what it was the most interesting thing I could come up with was that it was 1st August so it must be the official beginning of school holidays and kids graduating were have a book burning ceremony! We found out later that is was their equivalent to Australia Day, much more civil than a book burning ceremony.
