The boys had their first trip to Switzerland and France in May 2018. That's two new countries to add to their expanding list.

Geneva, Switzerland

First stop: Geneva's famous Jet d'Eau.

The boys climbed up to the top of the tower at St. Pierre Cathedral to get a good view of the city.

Okay, what are we doing here? We don't even go to church at home.

Château de Chillon

The boys did a day trip from Geneva to Château de Chillon at the other end of Lake Geneva. Here they are changing trains in Montreux.

Here's a view of the castle from a nearby park.

Zurich

The boys did another day trip from Geneva, flying to Zurich in the morning and back to Geneva in the evening. The first order of business was a stroll along the scenic Limmat River.

The Limmat River feeds into Lake Zurich where the boys embarked on an afternoon boat cruise.

After their cruise the boys headed straight for an outdoor patio at one of the many bars along the Limmat.

October 2018

The boys made a quick overnight visit to Zurich in October 2018 on their way home from Portugal.

Dinner was followed with a nighttime stroll along the scenic Limmat River.

Then they headed back to Zurich Hauptbahnhof to catch the train back to their airport hotel.

Flying home in business class always makes the end of a vacation much less painful.
