Warriors away visit to Geneva
We stayed at the Cornavin Hotel in Geneva which was conveniently situated right next door to the rail station. The hotel was ideal and had a wonderful panoramic breakfast room on the 8th Floor with fantastic views over the city. Ideally situated close to a great variety of restaurants it was a reasonably priced four star option.
Geneva is a fascinating city and on our first morning we arranged a private city tour which gave us the opportunity to learn more about the history and to see the old part of Geneva and to visit the Cathedral. Geneva is the home of many international organisations included of course, the United Nations and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent, but it is also the home of Protestantism.
In the evening we travelled by private minibus to Oyonnax and enjoyed fantastic hospitality from the home team, the match was a diplomatic draw, which helped French - Anglo relations!
On Sunday we took the train from Geneva to Lausanne, where we joined to Golden Pass scenic train which took us up to the lovely exclusive resort of Gstaad, where we had lunch. The views from the train were simply amazing, there had been a light dusting of snow on the mountains which made it even more spectacular. The trains ran exactly to time, and it gave us a great opportunity to see more of this beautiful country.
Geneva might not be your first choice when choosing a city break, but it is definitely a city worth visiting and is highly recommended.
