Euro Day 42 - Switzerland to France to Switzerland to France..

So it turns out that Geneva Airport straddles the France - Switzerland border. In fact you can exit the airport into either country of your choice.  So this morning we took our Swiss bus back to the airport, walked to the French side, put our gear in our French hire car (much cheaper to hire from the French side), walked back to Switzerland, met Paul, then walked back to our car which was still parked in France.  

Note we had a sign ready in case we didn't recognise Paul or vice versa. We made it hastily from boarding passes in the hotel room, which turned out to be a genius move as we actually needed those boarding passes when we went from the Swiss to French side of the airport. Phew! 

So while it wasn't as relaxing as the train would have been, the drive up here was pretty nice, all along the edge of the lake (where we stopped at a French supermarket and then for lunch).

We continued past zillions of vineyards, then finally up into the mountains which are the absolute cliche of Swiss countryside!  After unpacking we checked out the nearest town so we knew where we had to get the train from in the morning. 

Then we settled down in our chalet for dinner.  This is the view from our house (below), and two old derros who seem to live nearby (bottom)
