The earlier visit to Geneva was worth every moment of it. The little trip on the fancy excursion train showed me the Old Town, but as I had said it was not enough to have a little thrifty glance. So I went again to Geneva, this time to the Old Town ie Geneva on the other side of the lake. The place was distinctly different with narrow passages leading to huge buildings, which I guess, have come up only recently. But the old town charm still pervades the place.
The great mementos over time in the form of museums, art colleges, statues and parks are all over to give any lay man an elaborate picture of the grand history of this intellectual center. The park next to the university was especially good, well adorned by busts and statues of great men who have done great things in their lifetime. It sometimes is worthwhile to gaze at a statue and imagine the vigour that the lifeform would have embodied. Again the train trip had enlightened me by mentioning some of the great people and what they have done.
The cathedral, flower clock and the arsenal store were other major highlights. Here is a picture and the link to the album.
