Day 13: Geneva

Last day of my 2 week long trip is Geneva. I was already very tired by then and was looking forward to going home. Geneva train station



Post office and tourist information centre. The city guide they have is really stupid. It doesn't come with a labled map so I don't know how people are supposed to find anything. I had to sit there for half an hour to label everything on a map so I know what sequence I should go visit the sights.

After 2 weeks on the road I was so exhausted... I was ready to go home, except there was a long train ride ahead of me... It took 16 hours on the train to get back from Geneva to Vienna... It was a nightmare... Now I'm scared of train rides, hostels, living out of a sac and packing and unpacking... I think I'll shorten all of my remaining trips...
