After 4 hours sleep we woke up at 5 am Wednesday morning (June 11 I think), in order to secure some train tickets to Geneva for the 7:10am departure. To our dismay it appeared as if all the ticket booths were closed due to the same civil strike that had a lot of things closed in Paris. Luckily enough a nice guy (obviously at seeing our distress) told us there were more open upstairs and downstairs, closer to the platforms.
We sped through the French countryside at 300km/hr and arrived in Geneva shortly before 11am. It was a little trickier here, being less of a tourist city I guess less people speak english. Luckily I learned something useful in highschool, so I was able to procure directions to the campsite and bus passes to get us there. After setting up we checked out the city. We saw the United Nations from outside (just missed the last tour) and the Red Cross museum. In the evening we went to a "Fan Zone" and watched the Czech vs. Protugal game. It was insane packed with 60 000 avid fans from both sides :S Haha, we saw them all around the city as well. Time is running out, I should post this... Its taking longer than normal due to the French keyboard.
P.S. Some dude just walked in in a speedo... Europe for ya ;)
