Stepping back a few days from our last post, before we realised how bad the situation in Tunisia was becoming we’d hoped to spend a few days travelling round the north of Lake Geneva. Alas, we never got further than Geneva, before we turned round and drove straight to Genoa, in Italy, which was to be our departure point for Tunis.

Having checked into a hotel in the French side of Geneva (cheaper) on Saturday, we then walked across the border and spent an afternoon and evening enjoying the sights. And then stuck the Swiss flags on the side of the cars, since that counts well enough for us.
