Great bar.  Orchids and amaryllis everywhere. 

Lac Leman    English countryside 

Swiss Air back to London. We had to leave the apartment at 11am, so we have a couple hours in the lounge before our flight. 

The last full day in Geneva. Started early at the antique flea market at Plaine de Plainpalais. After lunch, a little shopping in Old Town. 

Built at the end of the 19th century by Genevan art collector Gustave Revilloid. Designed to become a museum for his collections.  Enormous marble columns.  Another amazing inlaid floor.  Meissen clock with scared monkey.  Rarely do porcelain figurines show decapitation. 

Antonio Canovas’s Venus & Adonis Awesome inlaid floor.  Wrought iron gilded gate  Auguste Baud-Bovy self portrait. Giovanni Giocometti self portrait  My favorite Picasso

Amazing lamposts. 

Arrived into Geneva, Switzerland around 4:30 this afternoon. Got settled into the apartment, bought a few groceries, scoped out the neighborhood.  Our view from the apartment. The Reformation Museum and Cathedral St. Pierre.
