Geneva, Switzerland

We started for Geneva at about 10 am. Traffic was relatively light by European standards but lots of road construction for most of the trip. "Navi Bitch" the name we coined for our GPS on our European Adventure of 2007, took us through some remote pasture land and some of the strangest back roads you could ever imagine but as always, she comes through and gets us to our desired destination. We did not realize when we crossed the border from France into Switzerland and that is quite common when driving the country roads.  We certainly knew when we arrived in Geneva and it was not just the license plates.  The traffic is horrendous, gridlock at every turn.  We were forewarned about this from various people and what we read on the internet, but still we decided to test our driving skills and that was a move we would soon regret.  Parking is at a premium and if you luck out on a spot, the price is often more than a hotel room.  Driving habits are similar to France but the Swiss are much more skilled & courteous.  After 15 minutes of mayhem, I was ready to call it quits and head back to the peace and quiet of the French countryside.  Even Leslie was agreeable to bolt if I wanted but I knew how much see wanted to see Geneva.  As I have stated on many occasions, I am not into the large cities and the tourist traps but Leslie wants to see it all for herself, regardless of reports good or bad.  I cannot say it was bad but after a long, tiresome day, if we had to do it over, I don't think we would.  This place must be the capital of luxury cars,  I have never seen more Bentley's, Farari's, Lamborgini's, Porsche's, etc.  

Leslie wants to return to Switzerland in a week or so to see Interlaken and a bit more of the beautiful countryside we have heard so much about.

    I have always been a straight shooter and a go getter.  Many have said Leslie must be a saint to have put up with me for over 40 years.  We have been business partners since the day we got married and each played an intrigal roll in our business success.  There is nothing more important to us than our Family & Friends.  Our love of people and travel has allowed us to develop amazing friendships around the world.
