Anzac day Geneve - Wed 25th


We are awaken early courtesy of a mistaken phone call from room service at 7.30

Coffee and croissant at local patisserie. DIY walking tour of Geneve - Ile de Cité, flower clock, watch retaillers, pont Mont Blanc, private bankers everywhere.

Skeptically, on the strong recommendation of our hotel's conceriege, we take the dejeuner cruise. The food is par mal, the cruise and ambience is tres bon, commentary non existent. Overall a lovely experience on a beautiful clear sky day in Geneva.

Apres we go to the Philippe Patek Musée, one of Geneve's most famous watch makers for over 150 years. We are instructed to take the elavator to the 3rd floor and work our way down moving around each floor clockwise; how appropiate that we examine clocks clockwise.... We love this and spend over 2 hours in awe.

Dinner at Le Chat-Botté @ Hôtel Beau-Rivage We suspect it could be a Michelin star restaurant. Food is fantastic and service is attentive. Reminds us of the good old Paris restaurants.
