The minibar killed this post.

… … . …

On the road from Guyere to South France we decided to do a overnight stop in Geneva and do a wander around the city surronded by the swiss alpes before heading down to the beaches in South France.

We booked a room in Hotel Tiffany on the fly, had the most beautiful drive down from the alps along Lake Geneva – just in time before the sun went down. The hotel was in a beautify 1800 century builing in the art area of Geneva with a cool restaurant next door with great drinks. As we got in very late we got upgraded to a suite in the loft: take elevator to top, go around the corner, climb the stairs all the way to the top and there was a lovely spacious small loft suite.

After a day in Steepy Gruyere, Hottest Heatwave Ever and a few quick drinks the bath tub, spa products and the amazing chamapgne in the minibar, was too tempting.

Good night and good luck tomorrow.
