MAP OF SWITZERLAND

The city of Geneva has its borders with France at the western end of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman to the French). Best known for housing the headquarters of several major international organizations such as the Red Cross and United Nations, its major attraction for the tourist is its lakeside setting. Lake Geneva is the largest lake in Switzerland and boats set off from Geneva for the towns along its shores - a journey worth taking for the wonderful views of the Jura mountains to the north and the Alps to the south

City of Geneva

The bustling city of Lausanne on the north shore climbs steeply away from the lake. The streets of the old town are picturesque in themselves and afford spectacular views across the lake to the Alps beyond.

Montreux, at the eastern end of Lake Geneva, is the Riviera town of the lake, with palms and magnolias spilling down the steep hillsides to the shoreline. Just outside the town is the famous Chateau de Chillon, dominating its surroundings and inspiration to many, including Byron. In July Montreux is home to perhaps the greatest annual festival of Jazz in the world

Hammerwood celebrates its bi-centenary in 1992. This event, of course, invited us to pay renewed tribute to its famous architect, the great Latrobe, who designed this spectacular house as his first independent commission two hundred years earlier, before emigrating to the United States. Undoubtedly, Hammerwood represents a landmark in both English Greek Revival and American architecture.

Capricorns usually prefer simple, earthy foods. They would rather not try anything with exotic spices. Instead, they'll stick with plain parsley and nutmeg for flavor. They also have a weakness for hearty foods that will fill them up, such as Sheppard's Pie, mashed potatoes, lasagne, spaghetti and meat and potatoes.
