Went straight to the see the UN building. Saw the UN building. There is a grid of surprise fountain and a chair with one leg broken, in front of the UN building. Shreya, Saachi, Sujata and Arjun got drenched in it. Opposite this is a park with an antique anti-aircraft gun parked. Then we took a walk through the botanical gardens. Some parts felt like from the Jurassic Park, was fascinating. temperature controlled glass houses/ green houses had some rare plants. I was expecting some lizards, worms etc to crawl out from somewhere, but nothing.
We walked out and then walked by the lake. Went to the part of the city with the 150m high fountain. Took a ferry to see Geneva from lake. Saw the fountain spraying water upwards. A rainbow was formed because of the mist and other conditions created by the micro climate due to the fountain. Saw many bank buildings. Reminiscent of fort area, mumbai, except that there is the huge lake infront of them.
After the boat ride, walked back to the station through streets, between stone clad mall/hotel/bank buildings, and caught the next train to Bern.
