Have spent 2 days in Montreaux which is a pleasant, sedate little lakeside town with stunning scenery. And no ski-slopes! You’ve got to love a town that has statues of BB King, Ray Charles and Freddie Mercury.
Up at 5am for the drive to Geneva airport. There’s no water in the bathroom and no-one replying when I phone reception. Have to wash using a bottle of mineral water. Am not happy to see it’s snowing heavily again, it’s dark when I leave the hotel and visibility remains very poor throughout the drive. Expect the flight to be delayed but surprisingly it’s on time.
