Genève ends..


We visited the UN building, took a tour of their premises and got to see where many of our world leaders meet to discuss important things. Later that evening we went to a small venue to watch a band play, where it soon got very packed with people. After over a week of powering through wonderful sceneries in Ireland, we finally got to slow down a bit to soak in all of the beauty we have encountered. Beauty can sometimes be missed and less appreciated when people power through them, slowing down was definitely necessary. It was for me anyways. 
 
Then next day, we got up early in the morning to catch the train we book called the 'Golden Rail Pass'. A train ride that takes you through the Swiss country side. Unfortunately, the fog settled itself upon most of the beautiful scenery. We yet again visited a castle, which was one of the best I've seen through out this trip. The castle was called Château de Chillon. (A gorgeous looking castle to say the least). We also got to see some of what the Alps scenery could offer. We didnt snowboard down one but we at least saw it from a distance, which would conclude our time in Geneva. 

After almost a whole day of connecting train rides (from Geneva to Milan To Rome. also, Jason and I can now say that we've been to Milan, however briefly), we ARRIVED in ROME. And after following and watching Jason get frustrated at the very poor directional job the Rome train station provided, we  found ourselves in a hostel 5 min from the train station and 5min away from the Colosseum. 

Tomorrow we will pay the Pope a visit in Vatican City. Apparently he will show himself and give the good people a wave. Jason and I are hoping to maybe share a chest bump with the Pope, or a high five. Or a sexy dolphin, maybe?!

































till next time.
