Last Day in Barcelona and Fly to Geneva

-

 22nd September 2023

It is our last day in Barcelona and we will be sad to go. It is a very relaxing place with great food and wine and very friendly people.

Breakfast is another walk down to the cafe we went to yesterday, for another Spanish breakfast of bread, ham and cheese with a cup of coffee. Everything is very fresh and very tasty.

Our checkout time is not until 12 noon, so we have time to stretch our legs after breakfast before returning to the hotel to check out and store our bags until we need to leave for the airport at 2.30 pm. We had been to shops across the road to see if we could do a bit of last minute shopping, but didn't have any great success.

Strolling through the local neighbourhood 

We have time to have lunch before we need to head to the airport and have such wonderful a choice of local restaurants nearby. We finally decide to try yet another one, having been very happy with our previous choices.


Once again we made an excellent choice


As usual, lunch tends to drag on a bit and by the time we got back to the hotel it was time to get a taxi to the airport. It only takes around 30 mins to get there, and after being rejected by the checkin kiosk machines we were quickly assisted at the help desk and were on our way to the departure gates.

The security scanning was a bit over the top, but we survived.

Our flight to Geneva was packed, left on time and arrived 25 minutes early. Sadly it was raining on arrival, but we are staying near the airport at the Nash Airport Hotel and after a short wait a shuttle bus appeared to take us there. 

Checkin took about twice as long as anywhere else we have stayed, it is nearing 8 pm, and we are hungry. Fortunately the hotel "restaurant" is still open, so we will eat there (as there are no other options)

The menu is very basic and we are now in Switzerland, so the prices are outrageous.


We are hungry and thirsty, pass up the $60 hamburger and go for something more affordable


This plate of fish and chips cost $40 Aus.

Thank goodness we are only here for one night. Tomorrow morning we collect our rental car and drive around 45 km  to Evian-les-Bains in France. We will spend the next week in this region before flying home via Singapore.

Boarding the Viking Jupiter and an afternoon in Bergen

 6th September 2023 It is time to link up with our cruise ship after a great few days in Norway as an introduction to this amazing country. A transfer from the hotel to the ship has been booked for 11am, so there is no rush to have breakfast and check out. Our transport arrives on time and 15 minutes later we are at the cruise terminal unloading our luggage and getting ready to go through the check in process to board the ship. It is a pretty slick operation. Our bags are whisked away with a promise of being delivered to our rooms by 2 pm, passports etc checked and we are all checked in, through security and on board by 11. 45 am. Viking Jupiter After a bit of a look around the ship we headed up to the 7th floor where the buffet restaurant was open for lunch. The restaurant wasn't all that busy, and the food was up to the expected high standard, as was the wine. There is no rigid plan for this afternoon, so we took our time and had a relaxing lunch. At 1pm there was an announcement...

The Scenic Maritime Village of Honfleur

11th September 2023 This morning we entered the port of Honfleur, in Normandy France. Our initial itinerary had us berthing at Le Havre, also at the mouth of the Seine River, but on the Northern side. It is an overcast day, but maximum temperatures in the high 20's are expected and some rainfall this afternoon. We are secure at the dock by 7.30am and passengers who planned to take the long bus ride to Paris soon go ashore to meet up with their bus. A 10 to 11 hr excursion had little appeal to us, and we look forward to embarking on a local tour at the civilised time of 9.30am.  A guided walking tour of Honfleurf is included in our package, so we set out in a bus into town which is really only a short distance away. Honfleur is apparently famous for seafood, salted caramel and hard liquor made from fruit, in particular Calvados Apple Brandy. Also Claude Monet is said to have obtained most of his inspiration for his paintings from Honfleur, something the locals are keen to relate. Th...

Drive to Gruyeres, Switzerland

 29th September 2023 It is our last day in Evian before flying on to Singapore from Geneva at 7.30pm tomorrow. At least this gives us another morning in Evian before we drive to Geneva. Another beautiful sunny day awaits us with temperatures in the mid 20's expected. We depart from La Verniaz at 9 am to drive to Gruyeres in Switzerland, expecting to arrive at around 10.45 am. The road takes us through small and very old French villages along the lakeside and about 15 minutes after crossing the Swiss border, the scenery changes dramatically to very green lush fields and stunning mountain backdrops.  We arrived in Gruyeres on time, and like many old Medieval villages, there is no car or parking access in town. Several car parks are provided outside the town and when we arrive the upper one closest to the town is full, but there are plenty of spaces at the next level down. There is a steep but short walk up to the town. Scenery on the walk up to the village We were not really pre...
