LAKE GENEVA


Hey everyone! I'm finally here with the third part of my holiday pictures. I've tried to keep it as short as possible. Hope you like it! :)


Beautiful skies, breathtaking view, lovely weather. Need I say more? Best. Drive. Ever.





Stopped on the way to take some pictures. 



Do you see the snow capped mountain in the background?!

All the pretty colours!

Prayer wheels

View from Granny's place. Lake Geneva.

Fun fact: Lake Geneva is a lake on the north side of the Alps, shared between Switzerland and France. It is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe. The Lemanic Arc is the region on the north side of the Lake, stretching out from Geneva to Lausanne and Montreux.  GenevaVevey and Montreux are parts of the region which we visited, the others include Lausanne, La côte, Lavaux and La Riviera.

Beautiful sunset.

Day 2 in Switzerland. Montreux town. Nature at its best.





Traditional swiss meal (raclette) 

Day 3: Geneva. 



"L'horloge fleurie" (or "flower clock") 

Jet d'Eau (water jet) 
The above picture was taken just before a thunderstorm, hence the photo quality is not as great. But something about the dark clouds I love. :)





The United Nations Office. 


The Broken Chair.
 The Broken Chair (installed in 1997) serves as a visual reminder of the number of people living in war-torn areas that continue to be victimized by landmines on a daily basis and it makes us ponder why we aren't doing more to help. 



UNICEF Office.


Day 4: Zurich.

Sushi with cousins.





St. Peter clock tower in the background.


Fraumunster church

Dinner with cousins :)




That's all for now. Hope you all enjoyed this post. I'll be back soon with a bunch of pictures from my recent visit to Doha, Qatar. 

Take care xx
