Chamonix to Geneva

This morning we went to our usual breakfast place and had our last tea/cafe au lait with pain au chocolats in Chamonix. After breakfast we did another quick walk through Chamonix and took in the mountains, streets and stores. We went back to our hotel and waited for our bus to Geneva. Once we arrived at the airport, we put our big bags in the lockers and took the train to the city centre. Our room in Geneva, is so palatial compared to where we've slept the last two weeks. Big, fluffy duvets and big double beds. We watched the Tour de France, took a walk around by the Jet d'Eau, which was on when we drove in the city, but was off on our walk and was later turned on (I guess they shut it off for certain periods of time), had some ice cream, walked along the shops and peered in through the windows, and finally, had supper. Before bed, we watched some crazy British movie called "Viva Blackpool" with David Morrissey. It was a comedy, crime, musical piece. We didn't catch the very beginning of the movie and when I started watching, I couldn't figure out what was going on as some of the characters were wearing period clothing, but it was set in current time. It was bizarre, but it also had some funny lines, which Vicki will remember.

It's sad to be heading back home and to work. Tomorrow we fly from Geneva to Montreal, wait a bit, then take the train from Dorval to Ottawa.

Beer/alcohol consumption: none
