We spent a couple of days exploring the Geneva area. We found castles on the lake, old steam paddle boats and great museums in Geneva.
We went to Chateau de Chillon to explore a castle on an island rock in the lake.
The audio tour started in the dungeon where some not so happy prisoners lived.
Here is the entrance to the third and most important courtyard in the castle. How many courtyards do you have?

View from one of the former bedrooms at the castle. We would eventually hop a a steam paddleboat like this one.
Now that is my kind of armor!
The first courtyard at the castle.
We took the steamboat around the lake back to Lausanne.
The steamboat crankshaft is open for viewing from the deck. It is an impressive piece of machinery.
The weather threatened to get us wet but cleared up.
We headed to the Red Cross Museum in Geneva where the original Geneva Convention is on display.

Next we stopped by the UN building in Geneva for a picture. We wanted to take a tour of the place, but they were closed for the day.
