Another great sunny day as we left Fribourg to travel to Geneva. When we first arrived almost two weeks ago, we wandered around Geneva but didn’t have the time to tour the UN, so we planned to do that before flying home. The UN is a little ways from downtown but it was a wonderful walk along Lake Geneva. The tour was at two so we wanted to find out where we were suppose to be before the time. To get into the grounds we had to go through a metal detector, show our passports and one member of the group had to have their picture taken for a ID badge. Then it was on to meet your tour group. The tour was just about an hour and was very interesting, we saw both the old and the new building. Unfortunately due to security issues the grounds are no longer open to the public, however we were able to take a couple of pictures through the windows. After the tour we walked back downtown and took the train back to the airport to find our hotel for the night.
