So last Wednesday my uncle called me to tell me he'd be coming to Geneva on Friday that same week (last Friday). He's a bus driver and has been several times abroad thanks to his job, and this time he came to closest big Swiss city to Sion.
As soon as my family knew he was coming, my parents started preparing a mountain backpack filled with Spanish food: Fuet, jamón, olive oil (¡¡¡3 LITERS!!!)... I must say they did a great job ;)
Something really good about Switzerland is that it is VERY easy to move around the country by train. And train stations are usually very well located within the city. That's the reason why it didn't take me long to find the spot where I was on the map and get to the meeting point.
It's always cool to see a relative after being abroad for a while, and I think it's even cooler when it's them who come visit you in your host country.
Even though he came for a few hours, we had enough time to have fun together around Geneva.
Him and the second bus driver (they can only drive for a certain amount of hours per day, that's why they switch every now and then) told me about their experiences traveling with many different groups and people during dinner. I really liked getting a closer insight into their profession, I don't know why I hadn't asked any questions about it before.
After that, I drove with then to the United Nations Headquarters, where the travel group in the bus had booked a guided visit.
In the meantime we visited the surrounding area, where there wasn't really much to see since in that area all there was were embassies and other organizations' headquarters as well.
Then, we didn't have much time to mess around for a bit, so we just went to the closest café and had a good time talking to each other.
When you're abroad you always miss your relatives and friends, and when you have the chance to see them in your host country, the feeling you get, it's incredible.
Lastly, for my fam and friends in Spain, I miss y'all a lot, see you in Xmas!!
