gate 52

we left Toronto yesterday for Geneva... getting here was a bit of an adventure... our flight from Toronto to Montreal was delayed due to a "weather event"... in Montreal we had to deplane and do a circuit around the airport to get to the gate to get back on the same plane (no clue why - one of those imponderable questions)... anyhoo... there were further weather-related delays in Montreal and it got dark while we were waiting... and i kinda liked how the reflection of the inside part of the terminal melded with the plan...

now in Geneva for a couple of days before starting a walking/hiking trip with an organized group... as we arrived too early for check-in, we dropped our luggage at reception and went off to find coffee (Starbucks - why we come halfway round the world to drink coffee at starbucks is a mystery to me)... and then for a walk... got back to the hotel and realized it was the wrong hotel (it's a chain, they have several locations within a small area)... got to the right hotel and they suggested we'd be better off at yet another hotel... finally got to the hotel and into the room - only to find that the bathroom door was broken... they moved us to another room and it's all sorted now 😎
An adventure before the adventure even begins!

Airports can be surreal. Hope you are able to forget what day of the week is, at least once so you get to disconnect.

Oh dear, sorry to hear of your travel troubles. Airports seem to be another land altogether.

No idea what it is but its a very good image! I'm with you on the Starbucks thing! Why do they have to invade Europe which is able to do coffee so very well!
