Week Four

Milan

Closed for summer. Taxis were more affordable than elsewhere in Italy.

Zurich

Cosmopolitan.

Berne

The Aare is a wonderful river. I had my best swimming on my trip here, in the outdoor swimming pools and in the cold rapid river. Unlike Nice, Monte Carlo and Rimini, the swimming pool was actually open in the late afternoon!

Geneva

The United Nations complex tour was interesting.

Paris

Flirty. I even got a good-bye kiss from a taxi driver! Not something that happens in a London black cab.

I went out to Queen night-club on the Champs Elysee, and was covered with mousse, i.e. a six foot wall of bubble-bath which enveloped the dance floor. Luckily I'd brought some shorts along, but my shoes did not like the soap as much as I did.
