      Happy birthday Sparsh!

      8. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      I rode the train to Geneva, where I was met by Sparsh. She cycles between France and Geneva each day for work, so she's a kindred spirit. Schopper carefully observes her bicycle, and approves of the same good tires.

      We ride back straight towards the Haut Jura mountains "until we can't anymore". This is where I shelter from the storm.

      The next day is Sparsh's birthday. So her boys Ayu and Kiran, with all the fuss that it entails, blew up balloons and 'helped' Patrice put together a surprise for mom. A joyful little family moment.

      Sparsh reminds me I can't call her a kiddo anymore. 🙂      Læs mere

      Coronacraziness

      15. marts 2020, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      And then there was one... Well we were pretty lucky, we got to do everything except chill in Abu Dhabi on the way home thanks to this mad mad world! We had our last day in the slopes in Switzerland on Friday then they closed it, then last day on the piste in France yesterday, then they closed it. Seams like everywhere we’ve been they shut it down as we leave??? Sitting in my hotel having 2 minute noodles & tuna, ghost town here in Geneva, can’t even buy a crossiant! Oh well I’ve got microwave popcorn to make & 2 bottles of French red to drink! Oh & 3 rolls of toot paper to waste 😁Læs mere

      Willkommen auf der Via Gebennensis

      23. april 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      So nennt sich der Abschnitt des Caminos, der in Genf startet und in Le Puy en Velay in Frankreich endet.
      Aber so lange muss ich nicht auf Frankreich warten: ich überquere die Grenze schon heute Vormittag! Alles, was den Übergang hier markiert, ist eine kleine Tafel auf der "Die Schweiz sagt Ihnen auf Wiedersehen" in vier verschiedenen Sprachen geschrieben steht. Von hier sind es laut dieser Tafel noch 1865km bis Santiago. Ein Katzensprung!

      Außerdem ist mir eine Pilgerin wieder begegnet, die ich in der Herberge in Freiburg zum ersten und am Tag darauf unterwegs zum letzten Mal gesehen habe. Sie heißt Nadine und geht von ihrer Heimat in der Schweiz bis Santiago. Heute wandern wir den ganzen Tag gemeinsam und haben es sehr lustig.      Læs mere

      Last day in Geneva

      26. juni 2022, Schweiz ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Today we woke up and checked out of our hostel and went to a brunch place for amazing avocado toast! Then we walked to this smaller area in Geneva called Carouge but when we got there, because it was Sunday, the shops were all closed so there wasn’t as much for us to do. So we walked back to the main part of town and we got our books and hung out in a park until we decided to go see the new Elvis movie before our train that night. the movie was amazing and then we stopped on the way home for dinner at a burger place because it was the only thing open on Sunday ha! Then we went back to the hostel to get our bags before going to the bus station for our overnight train. It honestly was as bad because we each got our own row to spread out/ lay down in which was nice.Læs mere

      Amsterdam to Geneva Day 9

      3. maj 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

      A travel day so not much in the way of pictures. Uneventful trip to Amsterdam airport and flight to Geneva. Great views of the Alps, my favorite mountains, on descent to Geneva. A bit of a problem finding the right tram to take to my new abode for the next week. Finally found my way from downtown Geneva and my new place is lovely! Beautifully decorated and every modern convince. Tram stop right across the street, about a 15 minute ride to downtown Geneva. And its warmer! In the mid 60’s with sun. A real difference from Amsterdam, no “breeze” from the North Sea. Low 70’s expected for the next few days.

      Got settled, and then out to find groceries. This, too, is a residential area, large condo/apartment buildings line the busy street. A 15 minute walk to a market for the essentials. Took the tram back as my grocery bag was breaking. 😂.

      Will spend the rest of the evening relaxing and planning for tomorrow. Pics are of the different architecture here and a park in downtown where I was waiting for the tram.      Læs mere

      Geneva Day 14

      8. maj 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

      A beautiful, sunny day after yesterday’s gray. Decided to walk some new areas today. Have restaurant recommendations from the gal who owns the condo where I am staying. Walked the “other” side of the lake today, so glad I did as it is a beautiful promenade the goes for a long ways. On my way to have lunch at one of her recommendations - a restaurant at Bains de Paquis. (Baths at Paquis, on the “beach”). Turns out that I was not the only one looking to eat there today! 😂. I was able to enjoy the walk out to the baths and see all the people enjoying the beautiful weather - even some swimming in the lake. However, the lines were very long and I passed on lunch there due to the crowds.

      I took the “long way” home, wandering thru parks, the European cities have so many of these nice spots around every turn. They almost always have some interesting sculptures and, of course, flowers. The monument below (2nd pic) is actually a mausoleum, built in honor of Charles II the Duke of Brunswick. He left 24 million francs to the City of Geneva upon his death in the late 1800’s and requested his mausoleum be built in a place of honor in Geneva. They picked a great spot with beautiful views of the Lake and the Jet de Eau.

      Wandered some more and then home for a nap. Out early evening to get some final things that I am running out of and sushi for dinner. Home to CNN and a catch up evening. Leaving here Wednesday.

      Geneva Day 11

      5. maj 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

      Up and out today, good night’s sleep and feel much better! Chose 2 spots on the other side of the lake (the newer side) as they were both on my To Do list and close together. First stop: The United Nations Geneva. Geneva is the headquarters for the EU United Nations. (Like NYC is for North America). This was also the site of the “original United Nations” - the League of Nations founded after WWI. I had tried to get tour tickets when in Amsterdam but they were booked into July! Their tours are limited right now due to renovation inside the building. So saw what I could from the outside. Impressive buildings and huge plaza for big events. The Broken Chair sculpture (see pic below) symbolizes both fragility and strength, imbalance and stability, violence, and dignity. More specifically, it symbolizes opposition to land mines and cluster bombs as a reminder to the politicians and diplomats visiting Geneva UN. The sculpture is 39 feet tall and was commissioned by Humanity and Inclusion (previously known as Handicap International). It shows that even wounded victims of war are still standing tall, with dignity.

      Just a short walk away, was the entrance to the Botanical Gardens of Geneva. Any garden in Europe in May is a treat. A wonderful, peaceful several hours roaming the grounds and greenhouses. A beautiful place. Will let the pics do the explaining. Late lunch at the Cafe in the gardens with wonderful views in all directions.

      Wended my way back home, with several “detours”. The Geneva App for public transport is not nearly as good as Amsterdam! Feet up, as I am going out tonight!

      Classical music in Europe always seems special. I look for some anywhere I travel and usually not too hard to find. The Venus in Geneva is Victoria Hall, one of those beautiful old neoclassical style concert halls. (See last pic below). The concert was great and featured Michael Barenboim, violinist, the son of Daniel Barenboim, the well-known conductor. A very enjoyable evening.      Læs mere

      Gammal vänskap rostar aldrig

      30. november 2019, Schweiz ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

      Vi mötte upp Johanna och Erik på La Clemence för ett par drinkar - utanför sprangs det fortfarande men vi fokuserade på gamla minnen och på att få språken att synka då Erik inte är bäst på engelska och Anders franska är något begränsad. Det gick faktiskt ganska bra!

      Vi drog vidare till Café Bourg du Four (det sprangs än, nu med nummerlappar uppe på 47000-talet). En god middag med många skratt och ännu mer nostalgi. En liten födelsedagssång fick vi till också till Anders stora glädje!      Læs mere
