22nd Aug 2013: Arrival Day in Geneva



Paris Charles de Gaule, followed by Geneva...train to city center...tram close to hotel...walking like a headless chicken (or PiGgY in my case...), finally arrive at hotel...




In the process, used 2 phones and 3 email accounts to get free 15 mins slots of Wi-Fi at CDG airport...1 yummy ham sandwich... got lost, and confused in and around Geneva, trying to make sense of the local public transport network...paid twice for public transport for ticket without realising that it's 1 ticket for both tram and train...duh...!!! 3.50 chfs down the drain...!!!
Guess what folks...??? am starving...!!! :P


Long stroll by Lake Geneva. Grabbed sandwich on the way...brilliant weather…
It actually helps to have a decent map to navigate !!!




 
  
 



 

Pink Grapefruit and Mango Gelato


 

Steak dinner, return to hotel and collapse on the bed after shower.


 
Wake up at 4 am to repack everything...backpack will be about 23 Kgs once water is factored in...as expected...
Today, plan is to get back to airport to meet Jeff, and catch a coach to ‘Les Houches’, France, which is our departure point for the Tour Du Mont Blanc.

Jeff, for those who can still remember, is the bloke I found last year on a hikers wanted website for my Ausangate trek in Peru. Hope age has caught up with him just a little, otherwise it's going to be a struggle to keep up with him, especially with my extra heavy backpack with all the photo gear...

Until next time... ... ...
