I've just uploaded a STACK of pictures from:

• Christie's mighty walking on water shoes
  
• my work trip to Frankfurt
  
• my trip to Geneva to see Nitesh, Nisha and Tushar

I never really completed the story from Geneva. I had a good train journey from Frankfurt to Geneva (although I left a bag of things on the train, doh!) and then finally met Nisha and Tushar. Friday night kicked off my Indian eating experience extraordinaire, with proper chicken tikka. On Saturday, Nitesh and I walked around Geneva and had a good chat. I think we worked out it had been almost two years since we'd last seen each other... Nisha made 'a chicken curry' for dinner on Saturday, and I can honestly say it is the best, without a doubt, curry I have ever had in my life. Perfectly spicy, tangy and tasty. I can imagine eating it now! We rented Signs on DVD, and all three of us agreed that the film was a huge let-down. More like half of a story. The funny thing was that it contained several 'shots' of Bangalore, which is where Nitesh and Nisha both lived prior to their European move(s).

Sunday saw us head off to Montreux, at the opposite end of Lake Geneva, where we visited Chateau Chillon. The views of the (minor) Alps were incredible. On Sunday night, Nitesh demonstrated his cooking skills with some excellent dosas and idlis (south Indian cooking). Ahhhhhhhh...

I headed home on Monday after finally seeing Nitesh and Nisha's wedding photos. It was my first ever Easyjet flight, so I decided to get to the airport on time (for once). As we were all waiting for news of the (slightly delayed) flight, the information screens crashed... The view as the plane took off really was incredible. I've searched the Web for aa good picture, but found nothing yet. Looking at so many snow-capped mountains was almost unreal.

Thankfullly I arrived back in Edinburgh without drama. Back to hearing everyone speak English which seemed strange and almost disappointing!
