Burt takes us through Geneva, Switzerland, explaining the key role that the city played in the protestant reformation, how it became the watch-making center of the world and why it is the home of the United Nations. We discover how the International Red Cross got started, take a paddle wheel boat along the lakeside to look at the homes of some of the wealthiest people in the world and discover the rules for fondue eating.
