Ok, so in my haste I mailed this on Nov 9 to the wrong email and hence it never got posted in 'real time' as it was meant to. But I didn't want it to go to waste so I've reposted it below:
It's Sunday and we're sitting in a restaurant in Lausanne, Switzerland. We had an amazing fondue dinner last night in our hotel (Hotel Edelweiss, which is designed to look like a proper Swiss Chalet). It was 'all you can eat', though the initial portion was massive - we had 2 little pots -- one with 'half and half' (ie 2 cheeses) and the other was the house special (called Eldewiess fondue) which was made with 5 cheeses and also had mushrooms. We ordered a 3rd pot, mostly cuz it was free, but we barely made a dent in it.
The restaurant also had a live band (2 swiss dudes playing an accordian and guitar, with a little a bit of matterhorn thrown in), complete with yodelling (which Scotty, reminded me of UHF and the variety show scene!).
Despite being full, we made it out to a couple bars after dinner .... The first seemed to be the meeting point for Geneva's prositutes (they had live music, but we left after our one beer), and the 2nd was a pub where we got in several games of darts which was good fun.
Today we went around the lake on trains to Montreux, but that's another story.....
Syd.
