Day 15 We Are Sailing, We are sailing...

Dear All,

Have just spent an exhausting day walking around Geneva and going for a sailing trip around the lake.

It has been another glorious day full of really hot sunshine. It is comparable to Hong Kong, without the humidty. I spent a good 5 hours in the sunshine which i regret now as it means my skin feels like it is on fire..... whoops, i guess i won't be venturing out without any sunscreen again:-) Something to pass onto when i return to my proper......

I went sailing today!!!! It was only a one hour cruise around the main parts of lake Geneva but it was fantastic!!!!! Nothing beats standing on deck with the sun shining and a cool breeze blowing through your hair...... it also means i've sailed around Hong Kong Harbour and Sydney Harbour..... the next one will be San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge!!!

Aferwards, we went for a walk along the quayside to the History of Science Museum. (I had Richard and Oceane with me) It was ineresting to see the old Astronomy equipment. I also so a cool experiment with Parabolic Reflectors which i want to repeat at home............

We then met up with Miguel and Agustin who drove us to a little down in France which is next ti Lake Geneva called Yvoire. It was a beautiful French town and the thing that made it beatiful for me was that there were so many flowers and plants growing around the town, on the walls of the houses and in hanging baskets. It made it look really rustic yet beautiful.

We had a quick wander around town before finding a nice restaurant for an evening meal. I had steak and chips, (it is weird but i seem to be eating a lot of that these days:-)) then had a really weird triple chocolate dessert. It was weird has it looked like ice cream but when you eat it, it melts in your mouth as if it had a lot of water in it...... not sure i really liked it.

Dinner conversation was interesting.... Big Brother and Reality TV programmes. I blame on the fact that we are forced to watch it to have something to wind Jedis up with. For hte millionth time.... Pop Idol, BIg Brother and all those other reality programmes are not quality entertainment!!!!

Back home just now and trying to cool down and do some washing.

It is the beginning of the last week of my stay and there is a lot of work still to be done!!!
