Switzerland

- After Nice,I trained to Lausanne where I slept on the couch of a guy I know from Uni, Simon, because I was so sick of heat, english tourists, 17 year olds, trying to find somewhere to stay last minute, hostels etc. Basically the enormity of moving every few days, trying to tourist while organising the next leg of the trip hit me. So I escaped to a friends.

The first 2 days there I just slept, updated this blog, watched tv and slept some more. It was good. In Lausanne I also went to see the Museum of 'Arts Bruts'. Which I guess means Brutal Arts? Anyway, it was art created by people with disturbed mental conditions, most of whom are/were in pysciatric hospitals at the time of the creation of the works of art. Although some were at home, or in a special art school for mentally challenged people. It was interesting, bu some of the stories were very sad. And some of it was just odd.

On my last day there Simon and I went to Geneva and were really touristy. We went to the UN and did the tour, and then went to CERN and went to the museum there. Unfortunately the particle accelerator at CERN is underground, so I didn't get to see it. :(
