HairyScaryMark Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I have relatives there. Visited once for a few days.Well worth walking around the old town for the look of the buildings. Wondering around Geneva is generally interesting. You can hire a bike at the front (maybe not suitable if there is ice).There is a small animal santury slightly outside Geneva which contained various monkeys, a panther (i think it was), a parrot amongst other things. I assume some animals would be inside for winter.You are also nicely within the season to do snow-related activities which I believe there is near Geneva.

psydoll Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I heard there's a pretty good convention that people are clamouring to attend there too!I attended a convention once. It was a Zoidberg appreciation convention. There was only about three of us but we took it as a positive as it meant there were more sandwiches to go round. Fourteen each as I recall.Good times. Still three times as many people as the Maxi appreciation convention. Not counting that hamster that wandered in unawares and mysteriously 'vanished'...
