Hi Everyone,
So we've arrived in Switzerland this morning. We'll be staying in Geneve for the night and heading to Interlaken tomorrow morning to skydive on the Swiss Alps!
We truly enjoyed our last day in Nice. We spent the day walking through the local market and buying some of the goods vendors were peddaling, touring Old Town and aimlessly wandering through the city. Victoria and I both agree that Nice was our favorite city which we visited in the French Riviera. It was a blend of the countries which surround it and felt more Greek and Italian than French.
As some of you may or may not have heard the railway union in France decided to strike this past Wednesday. Originally the strike was supposed to last only a day but it is still going on. What this has meant for us has been a very hectic and difficult journey as we moved from the French Riviera toward Switzerland. After leaving Nice we headed to Beaune, a small wine town in France. Due to the train situation we unfortunately spent only a few hours in Beaune before moving on. This was a great disappointment to us as we were very excited for all the vineyard tours. We did at least get to sample some of the local wine and delicassies from the region which were delicious :)
We were very sad to leave France but happy to be able to freely travel once again. I hope that no one ever has to experience the pains of travel through a foreign country on strike!!
Wish us luck tomorrow :)
