I arrived in Geneva about 11am after climbing some 500meters with my bike. It was definitely a tiring ride, and I am so glad I didn't use my fixie for this trip.
I quickly went to the train office to buy my tickets, but it turns out there is a bunch of extra charges for the trains in Switzerland including a special fee to bring bikes on board and a special fee to cross borders. All in all I paid 70 Euros to get back. When the price for going to Grenoble was double the distance and only 32 Euros. I guess its true what they say everything is more expensive in Geneva.
I should have checked out more sights in Geneva but I was so tired and eager to go home to sleep on my own bed for the time being that I left Geneva at 12:45 and finally now I am writing this post from the comfort of my own home :D
The total distance I traveled with my bike is about 159km according to google maps. But with all the detours and getting lost I estimate it to be about 200km.
Total money spent is about 220 Euros including the train tickets which were 100 Euros. For a total of 4 nights and 5 days of traveling :D Couchsurfing and staying with friends and airbnb definitely cuts down on the cost.
Peace from Guebwiller
