STEWARDESS STORIES: Geneva

Two weeks ago I had a beautiful 24 hour layover in Geneva, Switzerland, thanks to my job as a flight attendant (hence the name of this post; 'stewardess stories'). I arrived somewhere around noon and departed the next day at noon as well. Our hotel is located at the airport but we do get tramtickets for free to go into the citycenter. It's just 15 minutes away by public transport. Together with the rest of the crew I discovered this beautiful city. It was my first time in Geneva.

Geneva is the largest french speaking city in Switzerland and is well known for the huge fountain in the lake. It's called Jet d'Eau and when in Geneva you can't miss it. It pumps the water 140m up in the air and can be seen from the aircraft whilst flying into Geneva as well. We had lovely temperatures (30 degrees celcius) during our layover and wandered around in the old town where we also had our dinner. Geneva is truly beautiful and is home to so many expensive brands. Everywhere you look it's clean and pretty. Hope you enjoy my photos and please do let me know what you think :)

FLYING: Zurich

Blazer - thrift, pants - zara, top - vero moda, bag - thrift (H&M)

So in my previous post I already told you about my reserve duty. I got called out to fly to Zurich, which is one of my favourite destinations. Had a really nice nightstop over there, but stayed close to the hotel. We stay in Oerlikon, a suburb of Zurich. Surrounded by nice woods and fields, I went out for a walk to take some pictures. You can already see signs of autumn in Zurich. The weather wasn't really great either, but still good enough to take some pics and enjoy being outdoor. :)

FLYING: Een week europa

Zandvoort, Netherlands
Catching the first sunshine on a beautiful spring day. We went their on our bicycles and were there all afternoon. It was such a great day!







Vienna
I had to spend a whole day in Vienna. And with 20 degrees, lots of sunshine and a great crew that wasn't too bad. We went to a place called 'schönbrunn', the palace where Sisi spend her life. We walked around, enjoyed the audio tour and had breakfast on a terrace in the sunshine. Vienna is amazing!







Zürich
And we also had one day in Zürich. We went out to a great club, had a lot of fun and the next day we walked around in the beautiful city! Unfortunately a cloudy day but it was still warm enough to wear a blazer.
