visiting Geneva
Right now my cutie sis and parents are cramming up their time for some touring around nearby Schengen states before my parents will be departing back to the Philippines on Friday. So yesterday they went to Austria and today in Germany. Whew! I could even suggest for them to visit Switzerland but it is not yet part of the Schengen agreement so they need to have visa in order to go there.
As one of the world’s famous cities, I would love to visit Geneva in Switzerland, noted as the headquarters of the United Nations. Other famous places are the Palais des Nations, the 13th century Cathedral St-Pierre and Maison Tavel which has a museum.

As I was thinking about it, had my parents got more time, they could have stayed in a hotel in Vienna and Berlin for few more days to enjoy more of the sights in a relaxed pace. However, they have two more days left in Europe so it was a one day sightseeing in Vienna and another one day visit in Berlin. But thanks to the availability of one day tour cards in these countries, my parents were able to conveniently tour the tourist spots before their flight back home. Cramming yeah!
