    Tourism thread

    Thought I'd start a thread about tourism

    I'll start off by saying "DON'T GO TO GENEVA"

    1. It's boring and bland and not particularly unique or interesting
    2. The road system is not the best
    3. The people are extremely rude and show minimal signs of courtesy towards their fellow people

    I could go on

    On the plus side.... DO go to Finland (in particular Helsinki) and also Chamonix in France
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I got charged 6 euros for some coke in Chamonix I think they actually charged me for a line of coke rather than Coca Cola

    Chamonix is indeed lovely
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    I have some photos of the view from our hotel bur can't be bothered uploading them right now.

    But here's one which I found on the net which should give you a rough idea


    Drew. Let me tell you if I had gone into a bar and had been told it was that much I'd have told them to shove it but it was at a restaurant so it was on the bill The pastries down the road helped me forget though French pastries are without a doubt the best food known to man!

    I would recommend going to Sarlat in France lovely medieval town and delicious local food.
    There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

    Nothing wrong with that, you were in Chamonix and in a Restaurant
    When you're tired of rallying...you're tired of life
