At the airport 空港にて

Momo-chan saw so many of Swiss flags during four days that he could recognise it. Pinga asked if he knows how Swedish flag or Japanese flag look like. The answer was no. Here's Momo-chan checking out Swiss souvenirs.

High up on a rope ship ロープの船

To Pinga's surprise, Momo-chan climb up this ship with no difficulty. They had fun climbing up and down. It got better weather in the afternoon.

Pine cones 松ぼっくり

They wanted to take pine comes but it was too high up for them. Momo-chan came with this long twig to get them.

Sniff sniff... くんくん...

Momo-chan found these interesting looking flowers. He was sniffing them but they almost had no smell.

Popular fig tree イチジクの木

This fig tree had four kids climbing on it at the same time. It was a bit difficult for Momo-chan to climb and Pinga helped him out. Pinga noticed that it is a fig tree as she has recently seen them at her friends place in Italy.

Done bathing 水遊び終了

It was a bit chilly so they decided to move to a playground just next to the pool.

Mini pool 小さなプール

It was around 9:30 when they arrived here by the water side. They realised that it was not so warm but they went into it anyway. There were just them and another girl.

Sunny morning 晴れた朝

Weather changed from rain, sun, and rain again on Sunday. Sun came back on Monday morning so they decided to go to a mini pool. Can you see there is Jet d'Eau far away?

Cake time ケーキの時間

They tried hard to eat up their lunch as they wanted to have cake. Look how focused they were.

On the slide 一緒に滑り台

Because of the rain, slide was a bit wet but they did not care. So they had fun with a bit wet pants. But later, on a bigger slide, Pinga slid with Momo-chan and hit her butt really badly...ouch!

Rainy Sunday 雨の日曜日

Just as the forecast, it rained on Sunday. When it became not much rain, they went out to a playground. They had fun.

They found a good place to watch this famous fountain of Geneva. They had snack and enjoyed the breeze. There were many people at this park by the lake.

Arrived at Lake Léman レマン湖畔到着

They took a walk to old town to the lake for a picnic. A bit windy but still a good weather.

On the way to lake レマン湖へ

Drinking water for everyone

No frogs yet?

After the bike ride to the sheep yesterday they also visited the pond that has a lot of frogs in the summer. They looked but could not find any frogs this time. Disappointed!

Say baaaa!

Momo-chan is in Geneva with Pinga but yesterday evening Momo-chan wanted to go on a bike ride with Pingu so they went by the sheep. Momo-chan and Pingu called for them saying baaaa and the sheep responded. They even ate some grass from Momo.chan's hand.

Cute times two

This is a photo from last weekend actually. Momo-chan wanted to wear this cute hat. Cute Momo-chan!

Assembling a bed?!

All of a sudden he came back home with these boxes from Ikea and started building a bed. So Momo-chan and Pinga couldn't sleep on a guest bed.

I'll examine you Beluga!

Momo-chan found doctors kit and started to see a patient beluga.

搭乗直前 just before boarding

Here's Momo-chan checking out all those interesting airport vehicles. They took off for Geneve to visit their friend.

On the camel

Momo-chan said the destination is the sea.

Swiss camel

トトロだ! Meeting Totoro

Pingu had a surprise for Momo-chan. He set up Totoro for 3D glasses. Cab you see it's Totoro on the screen? Momo-chan could rend Totoro an umbrella. Very nice.

バスタブで野菜栽培 Bathtub gardening

They went by a school and there carrots and potatoes are growing in bathtubs. Innovative gardening!

Getting closer

Just like Deja-vu, Bolt doesn't like small kids as they are a bit rough and also unpredictable. But they narrowed their distance through time.

Taking a walk

They went to visit their friend. Momo-chan was happy to go for a walk with Bolt and his master. Bolt likes tree sticks just like Momo-chan.

White flowers

Momo-chan noticed that this plant has started to bloom. He was quite excited and said bees are coming to those flowers.

公園にて at a playground

After picking cherries from cherry trees, Momo-chan said he wanted to play at the playground. It was rainy earlier but the weather was good when they were there.

On the dolphin

This dolphin was too big for Momo-chan to hold onto last summer but now he can hold in to those handles. He is ready for beach. Let's hope it gets warmer soon.

3D glasses

Kids had fun trying our these 3D glasses. They could experience walking with dinosaurs, going downhill skiing, riding a spaceship and so on. Momo-chan likes it a lot.

Swinging with Hello Kitty

They had a family visited this afternoon. Momo-chan's friend came with Hello Kitty and they were swinging together. Momo-chan pushed Hello Kitty as she cannot get speed herself.

Out again

They went out again while it was not raining to this stone tower. It was fun with soccer ball catching down and up the tower.

Sudden rain

They went out for a walk after lunch then all of a sudden string rain. Typical midsommar weather. It rained on and off afterward.

Juanes!

They were invited to friends home for Peruvian food, juanes. Here's Momo-chan curiously looking at it before he dug in. It was delicious.
