So... I had a brief brush with Basel (excuse the little pun - if you spot it) and the Christmas market there is spiffing. Thanks Tina for tipping me off about that - I think it was you anyway.
At the moment of writing I'm whizzing through the countryside of the decidedly French region of Switzerland on an Intercity train so it occurred to me to blog something.
I'm en route to Geneva with a stopover in Lausanne. It wasn't till the last minute I realized the train I was riding didn't run via Lausanne, so here I am on another train. It was about -2ºC this morning so I'll be ripe for a good warm lunch when I arrive.
After exploring Geneva for a couple of days I'll be flying away to the UK to see my family for Christmas. Given the price of the flight (with EasyJet, never flown with them before) I didn't have much of an excuse not to. Today I read in the paper about an incident on an EasyJet plane flying to Nice, that the passengers were forced to brace for an emergency landing 'cause the flight crew thought the landing gear had failed, and then everything miraculously turned out all right! Why watch Air Crash Investigation when you can experience the real deal? :o
Since I'm now in francophone territory, guess it's time to scrape a little rust off the schoolboy French. Over and out... merci pour votre attention, et au revoir.
