July 18
We decided to catch a ride with AK & Deniz on one of the big boats that cruise around Lake Geneva. After a 2 hour cruise of lovely sun and looking out at the distant Alps and Mont Blanc we reached Yvoire, an incredibly beautiful Medieval village on the lake (and in France, not Switzerland). Tiny steep cobbled streets are lined with stone buildings and flowerbeds bursting with brilliant colours. We wandered around for an hour or two and ate a bit too much ice-cream and then caught the boat back to Geneva. It was less sunny this time, and cold in the wind, but we made up for that by sneaking up onto the first class decks and made like we were hanging with the rich folk. Geneva is not known for its nightlife but there was a small section of tents pumping out cheesy disco tunes complete with flashing laser lights when we got back. We decided that we'd had enough after about half an hour though and stomped back up to the flat.
