3) Geneve, Lausanne, Fribourg and Bern

The next morning (10.06.) we drove to Geneve center and parked our car near Parc de la Grange. Just like in Zürich, the water in Geneve was cristal clear. We walked past Pont du Mont Blanc and along the Rhone until we crossed another bridge back. Then we walked through Geneve's center and up Cathedral Saint-Pierre from where we had a great view. It is great to see the lake as well as mountains of th alps in the back. A charming city :)
We continued to drive through Switzerland and stopped in Lausanne next to the Cathedral. From there we also enjoyed a great view over the city before we walked up and down through the narrow alleys of Lausanne's center. Before we continued to Fribourg we also visited the Cathedral inside.
Fribourg is not a big city, still we had troubles to find the center^^ We parked our car near the central station, which is still a few hundred meters away from Fribourg's center. It's location atop a hill is great and provided us nice views again.
Our last place to visit was Bern this day. Unluckily some bad weather came up there. In Bern we parked right in the center beneath the main market. Bern was filled with flags and fountains. The latter Bern is very famous for. As well as for his old clock tower. We even spotted one of the two brown bears at Bärengraben. Then it started raining and after some light dinner at McDonalds again (everything else turned out to be whooping expensive), we decided to drive back to Danny's place that night. We visited the places we planned to visit and rather wanted to save the 100+€ on accomodation. 300km remaining after driving only 150km from Geneve to Bern^^ The rain became a true rainstorm and we had some troubles filling up gasoline in Bern... that unluckily burned some money. But after an hour and a half we were back in Germany, fully filled our tank and arrived at Danny's place at midnight.
