Geneva Time Exhibition

Geneva Time Exhibition is a the annual fair that gathers independent watchmakers. As you can imagine, in Geneva, watch making is a serious business and this is the largest fair host in Geneva.
As a consequence the whole world is travelling to Switzerland.
Of course this is the week my Geneva colleagues picked to have a workshop and with all the hotels in Geneva fully booked, we had to take the closest available one: Hotel Porte de Geneve, in Gaillard, in France.
40min to get to the office this morning, 35min to get back from the restaurant tonight vs. 20min announced on their website. I've never been a big fan of travelling to Geneva, and this hotel exile is not helping.
Only positive point of this trip, tomorrow, I will stay at Monika's and we'll have a whole evening to catch up :)

PS: in case you ever plan a trip to Geneva, keep in mind this exhibition and simply avoid coming the same week. Unless you have 4000 euros to spend on a suite in a luxury palace.
