Default Just got back from Switzerland!

Normally go in Janaury.. But couldnt, due to work , shame as I love the snow! But went the last two days instead... Weather was spot on too! about 25 degrees

Didnt take many pics as I couldnt be arsed.. But here's a few!

went to Geneva, But we normally go to Zurich or Bern.. But fancied a change

Photos in no order














Tastey Porsche!





My rather small pub lunch Seriously nice though







Saw this too at the Airport , while pondering about! V12... and fucking nice









Cant wait to go back, The UK sucks dick!

Living at Geneva, you really showed the worst pics mate. So much to show when putting pics of Geneva !

Also in Switzerland, if you don't see at least 1 Porsche every 10min you are blind lol. Switzerland is the Porsche country.

I went to Switzerland 12 years ago, stunning place as is Austria. Stayed in Adelboden, near Interlaken but travelled to a few places including Bern where the bear pit was/is.

G/f's brother lives there now with his family and are in very much a tax haven as he got residency (is an Aussie by birth). Would love to go back as it so safe, clean and stunning.

Great pics
