The second day was dedicated to walking and exploring in Geneva. 

The amount of walking we did had to be the most walking I have done in forever. We had a walking tour and some free time to explore.

I think we all underestimated how much we would have to walk in a single day in a big city like Geneva.

Cultural health observations:

  • Walking seems to be the most popular form of transportation of those living in the city.
  • The city’s water is said to be very clean so drinking out of a public fountain is very normal and not looked at as unsanitary like it is in the U.S.
  • Breakfast is very small in Switzerland.
  • The cup sizes are tiny compared to the U.S.
