After the gorgeous scenery around Strasbourg, the rest of the morning was uneventful. At least, until we came to the Swiss border. Switzerland, not belonging to the EU, is the last country in Western Europe with borders. The Swiss are known throughout Europe for their strict immigration policy. They do a fine job keeping everyone out they don't want in their country. So, there we were, the Swiss border. We were 'warmly welcomed' by two female guards, who gave us an icy look and with a ...

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 least as charming. We now had a chance to see Zurich in a bigger context with the surrounding mountains as a beautiful back-drop. It was nice meeting with our friends. They had good news for us ov...

The rest of the night wasn't all sweet at all. We got on the train by 11pm and had some sleep for a few minutes until I got really cold and couldn't sleep anymore.

I shouldn't have opened my eyes and let him know that I'm awake enough for him to ask me whatever it was he asked me (memory gap again). I just told him that I don't s...

I was supposed to leave Geneva at 8 in the morning to have enough time to explore Montreux and Luasanne, unfortunately due to a late night and a couple of drinks the night before, I left Geneva at 11 in the morning. I went to the train station and bought my ticket which will bring me to Montreux, Luasanne and entrance to the Chateau de Chillon, I paid 58CHF for everything. One thing i've noticed, Geneva is such an expensive city! I had a difficult time finding my train, luck...
