New Years Eve Eve

Well, Jen came down with some kind of cold/stomach bug. Spent all day in bed wondering what was going on outside. We spoke with Florence in Dole, France and Morzine is still on, eventhough not much snow. The damn online train ticket sales are all weird, so I had to walk to the train station and buy our reservations. I set us up. I figured if we are going to travel overnight, the first time we do this, why not go in style, so first class baby! YAH!
I walked through the red light district. A bit un-nerving at moments. LOTS of people on the canal. Most curtains closed, so business booming if you know what I mean. And lots of junkies hangin around waiting for an opportunity to bother you. It was very remiscent of San Francisco, walking down the Haight, but with hookers on display.
Back to Itinerary... We leave the second, at 8:30pm and arrive in Basel around 6 am. We change trains, then off to Geneve, then walk to another station, then another train to another city, then another, then the bus to Morzine.
It is supposed to snow there for days. Jet stream looks a bit high on the radar maps, so probably not going to get much before we get there, unfortunately. We'll see. We will be leaving Morzine on the 6th, might go back to Dole for a couple of days or head back to Amsterdam. That is still quite open.
The apartment here is terrific. Minimal, but perfectly comfortable. Overlooking a canal with the city center, Newmarkt, just two blocks away. pics to come.
