Kicking off with a “thanks” to Janeice who spent a couple of hours of her day off driving me to Geneva Airport so that I didn’t have to get one of the transfer buses. As ever the airport was heaving and expensive. I was starving, but after over 30 minutes in the queue at Burger [...]

It’s been a few days since the last post as I’ve barely stopped working since I arrived back in Chamonix. Maya drove me to Geneva Airport on Monday morning. From there, I was picked up by Peter who I worked with last year. Along with my new boss, two new handymen and a couple more [...]

My mode of transport early on this Sunday morning was a little more comfy (little more as it was a budget flight) than Leah’s airborne jaunt the day before. She managed not to crash a training helicopter out near Aberdeen, which is always a good thing. Good for me as I’d have had to explain [...]

My last morning in Chamonix was… eventful. Actually, one of the busiest working mornings I’ve had in a while. I was late into the office as I had to hand back the apartment to the people we’d rented it from. They were expecting Sophie, who handles the contracts, but had to deal with me instead. [...]

Friday was a short day in the office until Chris drove me to Geneva airport for my Bristol flight. I’d opted to get my passport sorted in Newport so I could catch up with some people I’d otherwise not get a chance to see on my next trip home. Passing through security and so forth [...]

This time, I decided to make some plans and had originally hoped to visit Turin, or even go further afield to Berne, Zurich and Liechtenstein. However, most of my European friends were busy so I decided instead [...]

A quick update and a little story from last Sunday at Geneva Airport for you. This week I have mainly been hanging around with Leah. She made time in her busy schedule (i.e. the long winter holiday) to pop over and spend new year with me. We had a few really good nights out, got [...]

Several times in two days, in fact. From Geneva, I hiked back to Nyon to replace the video that got destroyed when my memory card fritzed on me. From there, up into the hills and to La Cure which straddles the French/Swiss border. I stopped for a drink in a hotel there (l’Hotel Franco-Suisse) which [...]

Just some stuff that’s come bubbling brainwards as I’ve been walking. First off – cars. The Swiss as a whole, but Genevois in particular seem to love their autos. Geneva is rather affluent and it shows. If you see a Golf, it’s more than likely a GTi (or even an R32). A Ford Focus? ST. [...]

Geneva has them all and more. I’m going to rush through everything here as I don’t have much more time to add to the blog before I have to set off. A shame as there’s so much to tell! There are a few videos on my YouTube "MoshTour" player so go to my default channel [...]
