We ate breakfast and then headed on our way to Lausanne. We got there, by train, and were going to find a place to stay once we got there....we had no such luck. Similar to Bern, there were no rooms available at a decent price.
So we decided to hop back on the train and head to Geneve for the night. On the way from Murren to Geneve, we lost Rich's nalgene water bottle and we lost our Gorilla Pod we were both really bummed about all of the above!
Anyway, we got to Geneve and had zero idea of where we were going! We got off the train and of course a freak thunder and lightening storm hit while we were walking the streets! We stopped under an overhang, put our rain gear on and put our rain covers over our packs and trekked on.
After looking for our hotel for two hours, we finally found it....long story...hahaha we were in the wrong area and didn't have a sufficient map.
Anyway, we finally found the hotel, right in the heart of the Geneve's downtown financial district. We put our stuff down and went to dinner. We found a cheap dinner place and finally ate some greens....vegetables in Switzerland consist of iceberg lettuce and pickled everything else....not California, I can tell you that much :-)
At dinner we were talking about our trip and we decided to cut our honeymoon short because my knee was not getting any better. We only cut it 3 days short, but I could not handle it any more. I was having a difficult time walking and I was wanting to be a trooper, but you can only hold out for so long.... So we found a payphone and called our parents to let them know the news.
We got back to the hotel and got on the internet and planned our hotel accommodations for the rest of our stay. We showered and relaxed and fell right to sleep in our plush bed! We were expecting another long day to follow!
