Hi All
Well here we are now with our friends in Switzerland in the small town of Morge which is about 30 minutes from Geneva and 10 minutes from Lusanne, a lovely little town, the apartment overlooks the lake which is just stunning.
We walked into town today and wondered around for a couple of hours but have had a low key day doing lots of washing and just relaxing which has been nice.
The train trip from Nice yesterday ended up being quite a long day and it rained the whole way which was ok for us as the only day it has rained has been when we are on the train, our connection in Geneva was only 10 Min's which in hindsight we were never going to meet the train was at least 10 mins running late then we had to go through customs which wasn't very strict but still had to go through it, luckily there was a local train leaving straight away so we just jumped on and hoped for the best, no ticket or anything! Mum plonked herself down back pack and all next to a local who turns out was from Sydney go figure! the ticket conductor didn't seem too phased we only had a euro pass so all in all it was too easy!
Tuesday in Nice
We discovered there was a complete strike on all trains, trams and buses today so booked ourselves on a tour to Grasse to visit the Perfume factory Fragonard was a half day tour leaving at 1pm and was great we visited 2 medieval villages in the alps on the way which was very different from Monday Monte Carlo small cobblestone ally ways and lots of tiny shops amongst the streets and of course spectacular views. we lucked out again on the tour picking up only 2 other ladies on the way so just the four of us which was nice, the tour guy Antony was nice and left us to our own devises to wonder around. The perfume factory was very interesting and of course we had to buy some perfume for ourselves I only bought one but mum managed to talk herself into 2 as its real perfume should last for ages. I also managed to get myself my compulsory fridge magnets that i collect everywhere I go although probably the most expensive ones I have ever bought but hey when in France! they cost about $7 each!
Thanks Nat I got your message about checking on the puppy you are a very good Auntie!!!
And Deb yes I got both your messages, as long as you lot are being good without me there to keep you all in line everything will be ok, remember I know everything!!!!!! :-)
well we have another day in Morges and then back to Paris before leaving for Dubai and some nice warm weather! Don't think mum is looking forward too much to that!
I have updated some more photos for you all...enjoy
