Cuckoo Clocks & Chocolate

Today started very sedately with a visit to a tea room for cafe au lait, croissants and chanson de pomme. After a visit to market where we picked up a punnet of strawberries, it was off on an hour sail around Lake Annecy. Views were spectacular, but sun right above us, restricting photos. After return visited a Chocolaterie for a couple of mugs of hot chocolate and cake. The 2 visits to tea rooms cost us €45. Coffee at €3.80 and any soft drink €3.50. Bottles of coke/sprite/orangina have ranged from €3.20 to €4.50, France certainly not a cheap place to stay.
After a brief chill we headed for the Money in Geneva. 1/2 mile into journey and we had to pay €6 for travelling a couple of minutes, worse was to follow. On reaching the Swiss border, we discovered that we had to buy an annual Swiss road tax to enable us to drive on Swiss roads, this cost €30 but is valid for a year...yippeedee what a bargain! On reaching Geneva, without Tom Tom, we spent 40 minutes trying to find something that looked remotely like a city centre, as signs conspicuous by there absence. Eventually park circa 1/2 mile from lake and then explore for next hour discovering that Geneva is just Private Banks, Chocolateries and shops selling watches and cuckoo clocks. Then decide we need something to drink but finding an ATM in Geneva is like a proverbial needle in a haystack. I suppose with all that money and gold they dont carry mere notes and coins. Eventually we find one in a dept store, but requesting 100 of their Monopoly notes, I get 1 note equivalent to £70. We decide we cannot break on a drink and cut our losses by going for another pizza. We then head for car pretty disappointed with G, but no doubt there are good areas we never saw. We still have 30 units of Monopoly money as we could not find anywhere to buy anything less than £1000. The way out of G was even more frustrating with road signs distinctly missing.
Got back safe and sound and headed to bar for usual €4 soft drink, I am well bankrupt with my €5 daily allowance.
Just watched Liverpool game that was very exciting and am again greeted by a chorus of snores when I return to room.
Well tomorrow Chamonix is scheduled and the big question is whether anyone will be bold enough to take the cable car.
