4 apr
so late liao..went out just to look for internet. Fr1 for 10 min and drinks are obligatory..well done lor.went back to slp and woke up at 8. breakfast then walked to the train station where we asked for prices to go up the mountains. the person very nice, offered us a good deal, Fr 89 for 2 days unlimited travel but within zone la. we then walked around geneva...nothing much but we found the famous jet and flower clock.wahh the guy sitting diagonally opposite me quite good looking leh..haha blogging on train to venice now..anyway he moved in to the window seat liao..blocked..cant see him le. ok. we took train to villars. super duper nice town. it was snowing. so picturesque..really loved it. 5plus le, too late to go any further up so took train back to geneva, reached at 9 plus, bathed and slp.

up at 630 for breakfast..super onz rite..we rushed out and on our way to glacier 3000. reached at 11 leh..so far away. waste time on transport but got nice scenery..really very relaxing to just sit in the train and watched the mountains, fields and rivers go past. on the way up the peak....the change of colour is really cool lor..green, grey then pure white snow and blurry clouds then clear blue sky..arghhh can i like cut the whole view in front of my eyes out and keep it with me foreva? cant bear to leave the place lor. but the sad thing is nothing up there at 3000m above sea level...no attractions at the top leh, only a cable car station. wahhh if got roller coaster then fun rite? cruising thru real clouds..

at the peak is like a vast sea of clouds..of cos saw it on plane be4 la..but this time we're outside with the clouds leh..no metallic barrier betw..but it's really cold.
ahhhh the slope damn shiok to ski la if u know how to without rolling down. too steep le..must be super pro then can do it. we stayed for awhile then headed to chateau d oex..no hot air balloon lehhhhh...so sad case. just another town only lor. but still nice.. the whole place is like...villages on slope, towns on some platforms and cities near the lake...wow!!!

montreux!!!modern..as nice as sg but bonus of high mountains behind and beautiful lake in front. cant find choc fondue leh..so no choice, headed back to geneva.ate cheese fondue..yucks really not nice leh.so much alcohol, i didnt really taste any cheese lor and it's eat with bread not fruits..omg...terrible.verbena tea...the only nice thing on the table.haha..yay! the person beside me din turn up leh..so i shifted in to the window seat..can see the shuai guy liao oops..haha gd leh..me and edel converse in chinese super openly, nobody can understand us..ok ok..anywya becos of the cheese fondue we were forced to order another dish. edel took soup but i had half. 2 bread, tea and tip give a total of Fr 15.4..can cry.sobsob. after that we went to use the internet for half an hour, uploaded merely 36 pics..sighh but luckily charged my mp3 player then got some SAD music to accompany me on trains. 5 more hours to reach venice where we've to search for accoms.
