Final days in Ireland... On to Genève.

The adventure continued from Galway down the winding, 6 foot wide coastal highway to the tourist epicentre of The Cliffs of Moher. This spot has been featured in many movies and is possibly the largest tourist destination in Ireland. It was quite a spectacular sight to see to be sure but it reminded me of many tourist spots in the USA due to the concrete walkways and many restrictions as to where you are allowed to go. The cliffs were our main destination for the day but we were surprised to find that a random cave tour that we spotted on the way back happened to be the highlight of the day. The cave, featuring the world's second largest stalactite, and an interesting story can hardly be described by the pictures...

On to Dublin for our last pint in Ireland and an early flight to Geneva, Switzerland. Our first day was spent roaming the old city of John Calvin, until we found the house of our couch surfing host for the week, the lovely Corrinne. French bread, Swiss cheese and a 16 dollar glass of rum and coke later and we finished our first day in the most expensive city I have ever seen. I went to sleep eager for the next day when we were to finally see Cern, the headquarters of the Large Hadron Collider.

Waking up an hour and a half late the next morning and running to the tram station to try and figure our how to get to Cern put a bit of a damper on the morning but after arriving only 15 minutes late for our tour and them still allowing us to join made up for it. Needless to say it was a pretty remarkable tour. St Pierre's Cathedral, the Museum of the Reformation, and giant chess boards are just a few of the other features that have so far marked Geneva for us.

Today, the UN building, tomorrow a train through the swiss countryside, and Saturday to Rome!
