Day 2 - 21 February 2015

   Around 7:40 am our plane landed in Geneva and we had to wait to go through Customs, it took all 5 of us roughly 15 minutes to find them, 15 minutes waiting in line and 30 minutes for all of us to get through them. It was 9:00 when we got out, from there we waited for a local bus and got on. The bus took us from Geneva Aeroport to City Hostel Geneva, we checked in at 9:15 AM, from there it took us about 10 minutes to get set up and shown to our room, we decided to stay in the Hostel for about an hour and a half to get ready, shower and set up the room. 

History
   Around 11 AM we hopped on the bus to get to Chillon Castle, the bus ride was around an hour and a half, we ended up getting at the castle around 1:30.  The castle has many different underground passages, Courtyards, Great Halls and many more things that the Castle had to offer. We also explored the Castle's Chapel, Chamber and the defenses. It was a really cool experience to see such a huge building. We hadn't even noticed that 3 hours had went by and we decided it was time to go get something to eat. At approximately 4:30 PM we headed down the street from the castle and found some place to eat, we stayed at the place for an hour and a half and once we were all finished and payed for our meals we headed towards Lake Geneva around 6 PM. Since Lake Geneva is close to Chillon Castle we were able to walk there and not worry about any transportation. We spent 45 or so minutes at the lake looking around and taking in the nice views.

   We headed back to the bus station and got there at 7 pm. We took the 1 1/2 hour bus ride back to our hotel getting there at 9:30 pm.  From there we went to sleep and got rested before our next big day tomorrow.
