Celebratory Weekend - Friday & Saturday

Friday eve: wine bar "Tour du Molard" in central Geneva. A quite recently opened wine bar serving only Swiss wines, and most of them by the glass. This bar is stunningly located in an old Medieval tower in central Geneva, on one side overlooking the lake and on the other side the Place du Molard. The stairs are many, but atmosphere unique! It is basically just a stone staircase, with small window tables and a few chairs at each "level", and 2 smaller rooms spread our on the 5 floors, with the bars. An air of old time. In a good way.

Birthday deserves Krabbelurer with cream and cream!!
After a breakfast in bed as the Swedish tradition goes, and opening the presents, we did a run through town to chase some sun protection cream...as we were going up towards the sun!
After a bus stopping a few metres from the border, walking over to France, we reached the telepherique du Saleve and went up! This hill/mountain is a paradise for para-gliders and mountainbikers, but we opted for a more still activity this time around: lunch!
This food never gets old! A big piece of cheese, melted, served with potatoes/rösti and meats. 
Blueberry cake instead of Birthday cake...at least they both start with the same letter!
Can't complain about the view....!

In the evening after dinner by the lake, we went to Carouge where the night was danced away and behinds were shaken at Le Chat Noir. Ska, R'n'B, Hip-Hop, Ragga, dance dance dance!
This is the roof of the groundfloor bar of Le Chat Noir... Yes, it is smurfs decorating the roof like little Finish/Greek islands...!
