Geneva Day 5 (Boxing Day)

Saint-Cergue
After a late breakfast we fulfilled our desire to walk in the snow by driving to the top of the Jura mountains. We stopped at Saint-Cergue where we went into a cafe for a snack and drink. Then we donned our boots and coats and walked up into the hills. Arriving at the summit we had a stunning view of Lake Geneva although it was mostly cloudy. We then went into a supermarket for provisions and then drove home.

In the evening we drove to Ornex where we had a curry in one of our favourite Curry restaurants - Rajpoute. It was an excellent (but not cheap) meal with excellent service. It was nearly empty when we arrived at 7:30pm but was packed out when we left.
