Lake Geneva

Today we got back on the water for a tour around  Lake Geneva, the tour lasted 4 hours including a guided tour of an historical lake side property on the  Black Point Estate which was built in 1888 by Conrad Seipp a Chicago brewery owner.


Black Point Estate Tour is offered everyday from May through October through Lake Geneva Cruise Line.

Possibly...... the first narrow boat on Lake Geneva ;) the Phillys May was never this far north.


Yvonne and Sue relaxing in the sunshine at the stern.


These mansions are just summer homes !

Lunch was spent in Popeye's where I enjoyed a Coors Lite with my Schnitzel Sandwich, Yvonne left us to enjoy a stroll around the local artist shops while she went to collect Skye and Clare from school. Charlie collected us at 5 O'clock for the twenty minute journey back home.
