My Hotel In Geneva
I didn’t have a hotel, when I arrived in Geneva, so I just walked out of the station and tried the first I saw.
It was a design hotel, called the Hotel Christal.
There were the usual small design glitches, but I’d certainly stay there again, as it was so convenient for the station.
The thing that annoyed me was that the socket, didn’t take my standard European adaptor. It was a new French design, which looks to be incompatible with the rest of the continent. In one excellent hotel I stayed in, there was a panel which accepted every possible plug.
I also found the coffee machine too clever for me. When will designers realise that those who buy their products have money. And many who have money are retired with the odd health issue.
Train Toilets In Italy
Occasionally, you get a disgusting or failed toilet on a British train.
But not so in Italy!
On the five Italian trains I travelled on, only one had a clean toilet and on that train, it didn’t flush properly. So much to my shame, I left it rather filthy.
But even in the cheaper of the hotels I stayed in, the plumbing was good.
Would I Go Back To Milan?
I Don’t think I need to say more than one word. Yes!
From Milan To Geneva
The train journey from Milan to Geneva goes through the lakes and mountains and the Simplon Tunnel.
It is a journey that must be one of the most spectacular in a train on a regular rather than a tourist service.
It is also pretty fast, as my journey took under four hours. It’s not expensive, as for the 17th November, you can book the same train for just £20 and First Class for £110. By comparison London to Newcastle on the same day at a similar time are showing at £60 and £90 respectively for a journey an hour shorter.
Do They Use These Doors In Pyramids?
I saw this door opening method in several places in Italy.
Do They Use These Doors In Pyramids?
They seemed to work well, so they could be described as a good Ponzi system.
This web site explains all about the company.
And this one explains about Ponzi schemes.
The Milan Science Museum
This science museum, made ours in South Kensington seem particularly narrow in scope, very small and boring.
They also had no objections to the taking of pictures, providing you switched the flash off.
It was very busy with families and lots of kids.
One of the great things about a lot of Italian museums, is they seem to open early, unlike in some countries like Denmark.
