Last (but not least) about Switzerland trip
Allied bombing raids, Freddie Mercury, United Nations, broken chair, ‘thieves’ in Geneva, Chaplin, Swiss chard, art, Starbucks prices, fur, huge fork, ode for the transport cards, World Trade Organization, cows
And this concludes the Switzerland ‘report’ trip. Previous posts were:
Swiss Banks
Rochers-de-Naye, Switzerland 2
The Chocolate Factory, Switzerland 3
Chateau de Chillon, “Switzerland’s most visited historic monument” and Byron
Hotel Cornavin (Geneva) and the Biggest Mechanical Clock in the World
Cannabis Legal in Switzerland!
As a matter of fact I would have liked to write 2 more posts ‘Sleeping in the Geneva Airport’ and ‘Fairmont Le Montreux Palace’, but perhaps later.
Switzerland was bombed (by mistake) by the Allies during the WWII. The poster in a museum says ‘The enemy sees your light’, the enemy being the Allies (the swastika is not on the wings).
Broken Chair, a sculpture in wood that stands across the street from the Palace of Nations, in Geneva
Ducati (Italian motorbike), it looks like from a Batman movie
Natural fur!!! Sorry, but they shouldn’t.
What I saw at the United Nations Office in Geneva, so smoking is in fact allowed
World Trade Organization, better late than never
One of best things in Switzerland, free travel pass for buses, trains and even some boats. And no time limitations, valid from the day of the check-in to the day of the check-out, no more stress with what tickets and if to buy.
In front of a church, flowers and Swiss chard. My wife drew my attention to it as I would not recognize the Swiss chard for my life, I just eat it if it is on my plate. First time I didn’t get it but after a while … We are in Switzerland and they planted Swiss chard (a vegetable) among flowers. Do you get it now? This is a sense of humour to be appreciated.
CHF6.10 ($6.44) for a coffee, well done Starbucks (perhaps I won’t lose money with this investment, Why I Bought Starbucks)
