Postcard from Bobbie

You advertised a cheap flight round about £40 from Edinburgh to Geneva and we jumped at the chance. Hubby and I flew out on October 31st and opted to stay mainly in the Holiday Inn Express near Geneva Airport which had a free shuttle bus to the airport. Very handily, the airport connected with the train station and a bus station.Every morning after a great sleep and equally good breakfast at the hotel, we'd shuttle tot he train station and go off to a different destination every day. The first day, we arrived at lunch time, so we had time for a mini-train trip round Geneva and a tasty dinner at the Bain des Pâquis - the obligatory fondue!On the second day, we went on a full-day trip to Chamonix Mont Blanc which was absolutely stunning. The third day saw us taking the train up to Zurich, a three-hour trip. But since we saved on the airfares, we travelled first class on all our train trips and that was great, especially since they were all double deckers and we went upstairs for the best view,Our fourth day trip was to Lucerne and we exchanged our Geneva hotel for the Radisson in Lucerne which is a beautiful place. The Radisson in just round the back of the station within easy walking distance and they had kindly upgraded us to a lake-view room.On our fifth day, we again took the train, from Lucerne this time to the capital, Bern, where we did some sightseeing, had lunch with a friend and filmed for our YouTube channel within Democracy Tower! It was a train back to Geneva that evening and we fell into bed somewhat shattered with all our travels, but really happy to have done this trip and seen so much.After our last night back at the Holiday Inn Express, we left the sixth morning after breakfast, back to the airport and back home to Edinburgh Airport, all thanks to Jack's Flight Club - thank you again !
