News in the middle of the night

Hello again,

we´ve just returned after an interesting evening in Geneva. As many of you might know, the European football championships are played here in Switzerland (and
Austria) and tonight there was a match between Turkey and the Czech republic here in Geneva. Turkey won the match 3-2, and it certainly showed in the nightlife! The fans were driving around in their cars, honking their horns and waving Turkish flags. The Czech fans were quiet, but drunk. As far as we could tell, everything seemed to go peacefully.

We had another interesting experience at a "Swiss" restaurant- one might say we even got an overdose of Swiss "culture". The restaurant we visited, Edelweiss, had everything from fondue to the St Bernhard- dog, and they even had a houseband which played everything from the saw to the alp horn. We got a whiff of genuine Swiss touristic kitch, but in a strange way it was rather nice.

Now we are quite tired and ready for bed. Tomorrow we are heading to Davos, a small ski-resort in Switzerland. We have a long way a head of us, before we return to Munich.
