We arrived just after 9pm at Lucette’s apartment still unsure that she had gotten the call from Camille’s mom that we were coming. With the lights out, we carefully tried the door which proved to be open. Lucette was in the back living room and after finally hearing our entrance, was overjoyed for our return. She sat us down for dinner and poured us a glass of wine for Camille’s birthday meal. After dinner, a cake (complete with candles) was had and we finally retired to a good night’s rest in a familiar place.
We decided to spend two nights in Grand Saconnex so we spent a good portion of the following day doing the three loads of laundry we had accumulated on our journey. Two of Camille’s cousins joined us for lunch. We ran errands with Lucette before stopping by Camille’s uncle’s house to use the internet. With no one home, we sat in the garden huddled under an umbrella to hide from the rain. Thankfully, Camille’s cousin came home and let us inside just in time. We planned a few things before heading back to Lucette’s once the rain had subsided.
That evening, Camille’s two girl cousins picked us up for a night out to celebrate Camille’s birthday. We went to a Geneva University bar called Calamari (whose logo is actually a moose). We ordered dinner and drinks and enjoyed an evening of conversation about travels, the economy and various other topics. After a few rounds, we called it a night and returned to Lucette’s to gather our now dry laundry and pack our bags. Our time in Geneva was over again as we settled in for our last night before another early train and sad goodbyes from Lucette in the morning.
