AKULA WAS HERE : NYON, SWITZERLAND

Too many pics, huh?

Taking photos is a passion, to say the least. :)

Well, last Saturday I was on a sailing ship cruise to Yvoire, France, organized by the the Malaysian Ladies Association here in Geneva. I enjoyed the trip very much. (Good job ladies!) I have uploaded and shared the said trip pics in 3 parts, here, here and here. I am too lazy to write a review of my trip there. Will update those posts once these tired lazy bones recovers. :)

Yesterday was a public holiday in Geneva. My friends and I took the opportunity to visit Nyon, about 23 km from where I lived. Nyon is also one of the town I cycled through on my routine cycling route.

Apart from the normal jalan-jalan, we also went there to satisfy our cravings for its famous ice cream.

NYON'S FAMOUS ICE CREAM PARLOR

Ice creams were sold at CHF 3.00 per one scoop. Its so delicious that all the members of our group took 2 scoops each. Mine was a mix of tiramitsu and caramel. I forgot to take a pic of that since I was so busy enjoying it!

Simply delicious!

SHOTS OF NYON (CONTINUED)

One thing I noticed and observed here in Switzerland, come summer time, there are a lot of big bikes around, with its riders clad in black leather jackets and pants. (Well, not in the above pics). And its not just the guys, the aweks too seems to enjoy riding motorbikes. I can say for a fact that its affordable for most people to own a big bike here.

Strolling along Nyon waterfront, I noticed this guy was playing to what seems like a gambus to my eyes. I guess he's from the one of the Middle Eastern countries since the music that he played sounds like a typical padang pasir tune. He must be 'in the zone', ignoring all the people who walked by him. Really, really cool.

So thats it. I had a good weekend, with good friends and consumed a lot of good food.

Really looking forward for summer time here in Geneva.
