Yvoire, France 6May 2008
We received two guests during the weekend. It was Abah's friend from Toulose, France... kawan who used to be in the same school kat Selama and worked for the same company... he came with his wife, Noora, who was visiting him for few weeks... On Saturday, we just took them around Geneva..starts pun lambat coz Abah got a bowling tournament for the ASEAN games... initially tought that it wud not take that long... rupanya this year ramai participant and that ladies main dulu.. so by the time Abah balik it was already 3pm... luckily siang panjang...

On Sunday, we took them for a tour around Lake Geneva (dlm 50km diameter)... we singgah few towns ... the first town was Yvoire... it was the second time for abah and Ashraf but for Ibu and Afif, it was the first time....

A bit info on Yvoire from Wikipedia:
Quote:
Yvoire is a village and commune on the south shore of Lake Geneva in the French département of Haute-Savoie.It is well known for its medieval buildings and beautiful flower decoration during the summer season. It is a very attractive little village, dating back some 700 years. The stone doors through the ramparts, and the chateau (only the keep remains), are existing remnants of this earlier more turbulent time.Being located at the tip of the Leman peninsula (presqu'île de Léman), Yvoire delimits the two main parts of the Lake Geneva, the "petit lac" and the "grand lac". Nowadays Yvoire is a town of medieval architecture, artisans and cafes, and above all, lovely views out across the Lake. But also of flowers - the town has won numerous awards for its flower displays, and attracts many visitors as a result. Yvoire received its first prize in the national competition for the best kept villages in 1959 and the rewards followed over the years. Now ranked as “Four Flowers”, the village represented France in 2002 at the European level and received the International Trophy for Landscape and Horticulture.
