Also all the videos of the trip will appear on this page too. Keep coming back to check up! Waking up in Bern, it was the last day of the Alpine trip! Yes. After all the problems I had with the last few days with smashing the front of the car into a barrier, no headlights or water in the car, losin…

This morning at 9:30, the girls left for the airport. My mum and my wife were flying somewhere in the afternoon but with a taxi and a train ride to Geneva still between them and the airport, they decided it was best to leave early. You never know what happens along the way. With the memory of t…

What a day. It was POURING RAIN again and I was caught in it without a jacket or umbrella, wearing a black T shirt, linen skirt and HEELS. I didn't even have time to go home and change.I could not sleep last night because I'm in a new place, finally getting some shuteye somewhere around 5am. I went…

Back in Geneva and by myself again, I was in search of a hotel. my search for hostels the day before did not come up with much. I asked the travel desk if they knew of any place that gave crewmember discounts, and they said something about a hotel nash. I decided to walk over there, but took the wr…

This morning we are first going to meet with some friends and in the early afternoon catch a flight back to Geneva. Yesterday we walked through the city in twilight and the dark. This morning was a grey but dry day with crispy cold air. The centre looks different at daytime, of course, but at l…

Geneva is famous for its fountain located in Lake Geneva.  The Jet d’eau (Water Fountain) shoots a half a cubic meter of water per second up to 140 meters high; it requires two powerful groups of motorpumps representing a global weight of over 16 tons and a total power of close to 1000 kilow…

A visit to the 78th + 79th edition of the Motor show of Geneva (the biggest in Europe) with the introduction of various new models plus all kind of new invented models with power supply like "hybrid" and hydrogen" plus the more "common biofuels" to reduce CO2 emissions. But also to enjoy the cityview at 20°C . . . in spring time!

for all travbuddies who are also auto fans ...

Something that's caught me off guard in Switzerland is the daylight schedule.  The sun doesn't come up until around 8am, which makes adjusting to the time change even more entertaining.  Megs actually slept in to about 11am or so.  After posting Saturday's blog, the group of us heade…

Well, sometimes a good mood can help to stand all what's going on around. Our guide made best effort not to let us see much in Geneva. In addition it was a rainy day. But who cares about the details when the rain was fresh, got one or two nice pics and I am free to travel there once again!

It's a very fascinating thing - you land in Geneva, and people won't speak anything but French. Then you get on a train and travel for two or so hours, get off the train - and now people won't speak anything but German. I talked to a Swiss woman on the train who told me that it was really hard to f…

Switzerland seen by local's eyes. Some pieces of my life here.....

This is Geneva in Switzerland, home town beofre I moved to the boring Lausanne. 40% of the population there is from abraod, many opportunities to meet different cultures and languages!!

Me and my friend Teja decided to spend some days in different Europe cities and we choose Verona (Italy), Paris (France) and Geneve (Switzerland). It was soooo great:)

Unfortunately I didn´t get to see as much of Switzerland as I would have liked, but there´s always next time. At least I have some pictures though :)
