GenevaLunch is posting limited news today 1 June due to the Whit/Pentecost holiday in the Lake Geneva region.
Take advantage of the day off to visit our blogs, with recent posts added on Paddy Ashdown’s new book (and presentations in the region in coming weeks), snow in the Alps, buy American? by guest blogger Andy Sundberg – and if you’ve missed the scoop on where to walk your dog off the leash in Geneva, it’s time to visit Laila Rodriguez’s blog, New to Geneva? Me too.
The weather forecast posted Friday was not inaccurate, but the sun on Friday was accompanied by strong winds that churned up Lake Geneva and turned it turquoise. Images: Divers and wind-surfers were out in force in Saint Prex. Above Montreux the path of a sailboat stirred up the water.
And the rain that soaked some areas Saturday still came as a bit of a surprise. In the Alps it came down as snow.
The good news is that with the sun out Sunday and Monday the views are spectacular, with clean fresh Alpine peaks in the background.
Aminona, Valais, Saturday evening 30 May 2009 after the clouds lifted: 2,000 metres and snow!
