Back in the country!

We're here. All is well, in Montreal. We are patiently (sort of) waiting for our final flight to Wpg.

We are on schedule to arrive just before midnight.

See you then!

Travelling Home

As of 3pm Swiss time, the status of all our flights (from aircanada.com) is 'On-Time'.

So we are leaving Geneva at 12:10 (just after noon) on Saturday on Flight 831.

We get into Montreal at 2:15pm on Saturday.

We leave Montreal at 9:55pm on Flight 1105 on Saturday. (Lucky us!!! 7 hours layover!!)

We arrive in Wpg at 11:49pm (just before midnight) on Saturday night.

That's 2349pm on Saturday August 18th.

I hope to get some i-net in Montreal and update you here on our travels but...
I dunno what Montreal has to offer.

Hopefully you will see an update here later in the day on Saturday to reconfirm our arrival time from Montreal to Wpg.

The 2nd to last evening

All of our students took advantage of a free evening to walk down to the Fromagerie and enjoy some classic Swiss food: Fondue!!

We've been frequent guests of the Fromagerie during our stay, so we can say with some authority that the students made a good choice. The food is fantastic. Live music outside in the pedestrian alley. Great ambience.

I would highly recommend the raclette, which is nearly as (perhaps more...) fantastic as the fondue. The ladies seemed to enjoy their time, and hopefully also enjoyed the long walk up back to KLAS.
