Geneva, Switzerland to Houston, TX

Posted on March 6, 2019September 22, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

Today I am returning to Houston. The Day started fine, woke up on time, returned the rental car, got the shuttle bus to the airport, but when I checked in it started going bad. My London to Houston boarding pass has the “SSSS” on it. After boarding the flight to London the captain announced a…

Europe Trip – Day 5 [Le Creusot, France to Geneva, Switzerland]

Posted on March 5, 2019September 22, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

This morning I left Le Creusot and drove to Geneva. On the way I stopped at Chalon-sur-Saone. They had a tourist information center near where I parked and they gave me a nice map for a short walking tour of the city. The city even had markers on the sidewalk to help guide you on…

Posted on March 1, 2019September 22, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

This morning I arrived in Geneva, Switzerland. I managed to get a rental car with a manual transmission. I drove to Lyon, stopping at a petrol station along the way for breakfast. I was unable to check in to the hotel, so I continued to Lyon and walked around Vieux Lyon and up to Fourviere….

Day 5 in Switzerland / Day 1 of Rhine River Cruise

Posted on September 17, 2017September 25, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

This morning we explored Basel. We went to the city gate first via tram.   We then walked around the area and found the Rathaus (City Hall). The building stood out from all the others because of it’s color and decoration.   We then walked to the Basel Gothic church.   We used our Swiss…

Day 4 in mostly Switzerland – Bernina Express

Posted on September 16, 2017September 25, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

Day 3 in Switzerland – Glacier Express Panoramic train from Zermatt to St. Moritz.

Posted on September 15, 2017September 25, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

Today’s train is the Glacier Express which leaves at 7:52 AM.    I got up early and took some more photos of the Matterhorn before the sun was fully up. This was the best time to take the photo because it was not harsh light. Only a few more minutes later and the sunlight was…

Arrival in Switzerland

Posted on September 13, 2017September 25, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

My transfer between LGA and JFK in New York City yesterday was uneventful (uneventful is a good thing).    My airplane landed a little early this morning (7:14 AM instead of 8:05 AM). I managed to get some sleep on the plane (probably more than I did the night before when I was packing for the…
