Shortly before arriving in Munich, we awoke from a very comfortable flight.  We freshened up a bit and got changed, before getting ready to land.

The weather looked nice, if a bit hazy, as we were approaching Munich airport.

Instead of parking at a remote stand, which is common at European airports, our flight arrived at a gate. Unfortunately, it was the furthest gate in the terminal, so it meant a bit of a walk. After about 15 minutes, we made our way to the Lufthansa First Class lounge, where they have their own immigration desk to clear incoming passengers.

After formalities, the first order of business was to get a nice shower and some breakfast.  They have very nice facilities for both showers and baths, which are most welcome after a long flight.  And to complete the experience, we were provided with nice souvenir rubber ducks for the bath!

After a nice hot breakfast, we relaxed before it was time to board our flight to Geneva. They had a nice buffet breakfast and also a nice menu of made-to-order items.

Our flight to Geneva was on a smaller aircraft, and was leaving from a remote location on the tarmac rather than from a terminal gate. However, instead of having to take a shuttle bus, the FCT has a limousine service downstairs where they drive us directly from the lounge to the aircraft stairs!  This was our ride.

Once in the air, we were less than an hour from landing in Switzerland. Here we are flying over Lac Léman.

Once on the ground, we claimed our luggage and grabbed the train into town toward our hotel, the Swissôtel Métropole, Geneva.

We were only going to be in Geneva for one night, and we expect most of our time will be a little difficult as we recover from jet lag, however, we did want to see what we could while we were here.

We had a nice updated room with a view to the park in front of the lake.

After getting settled, we set out to explore the waterfront area, and decided to take a boat tour of Geneva.

The boat tour lasted about an hour. We then explored some of the nearby streets and looked for a bite to eat for dinner. Geneva is a very pretty city.

After dinner, we returned to the hotel and tried to get some sleep and get accustomed to the time change as quickly as possible.
