DAY 10 passing Geneva to France

DAY 11 (07 Oct 07, SUN) : ZERMATT REGION - SWISS RIVIERA - GENEVA - DIJON

We has photo stop at a few main attractions in Geneva. Chillon Castle by the Geneva Lake, important buildings like the United Nation and Red Cross Building. We had lunch at this Chinese restaurant. Miss Chinese food so much! Nick start thinking what to eat when we touch down in SG. A final photo stop at the jet d Eau fountain. The coach brings us into France.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stopped by Djon for one night stay before reaching Paris. We stayed in Holiday Inn Hotel in Djon but the arrangement by the hotel is really bad. We were arranged separately from the main dinning area. The ang mo had their breakfast in the main restaurant. We together with the China group were arranged into a small function room. Worse of all they provide cold bread and Taiwan sausage look-alike for us! They think we dun know how to eat their ang mo sausage! The waitress is the worse waitress I ever seen. When ask for extra plate, she say “Already given u all the exact no of plates, 19 ppl, 19 plates!” and her attitude is also best! When she bring out the bread, she let out a big “pek chek” sigh! I heard from fellow travel mate that the China group is very KS, took 2 serving each! That’s why the waitress thought we are like the china group cos she can’t tell the difference, we all look the same to them!

oh...its like tat one coz the tour agency paid less for ur pkg so u can't eat the standard buffet BF at the main restaurant...n there is allocation each pax only get one portion. some ang mo dun like asian coz the lousy China tourist spoil the mkt..

if u do F&E hor, then u will get better service once they find out we r SG pple n can speak english..more 'high class' than PRC pple lah...Germany n Austria pple r quit friendly also..Swiss is still the best :)

Yes. I agree. Swiss is still the best. They are very friendly. When we were in one of the hotels at Italy, we were separated from the Japanese. They can help themselves to the buffet spread. We were only given one bun, one biscuit and one crossiant. Service were terrible too.
