Flying to Geneva: Part 2



It's day two of the waiting game today. Having been put up in a hotel - The Holiday Inn- last night with all food and accommodation included, I was given a 13:20 flight for today.

Because my sleeping patterns are still quite dodgy, I woke at about 5:30 am and thought I would try my luck with a standby flight. Unfortunately all of the morning flights to Geneva are once again cancelled. Here's hoping there will be more luck with the afternoon flights. If not, it will be another night in hotel accommodation.
Later in the day
So in fact my flight for this afternoon has also been cancelled and I have been moved to another hotel with a guy I've become friends with. He is also doing a ski season in Tignes which is cool. We have decided to go into London to look at the Natural History Museum and to get out our laptops to see whether there are alternative ways for us to fly out to Geneva. The problem is that snow is falling both in Geneva and at Heathrow, so the planes just can't leave their airports. In the past two days alone 18 flights to Geneva have been cancelled.

This hotel is a bit more posh than The Holiday Inn. I have a king-size bed which is always nice and the food is delicious. I could definitely get used to this!
