GENEVA, Switzerland – Day 8 and it’s Geneva, Switzerland. Truth is I’m not keeping count. Paul our editor is. Poor guy, he’s had to work into the early hours of the morning to edit our pieces. All the hard work, though, is paying off. The packages look great. We arrived in Geneva yesterday after a three hour drive from Basel. En route we stopped in Bern for lunch. It’s a beautiful city and the main tourist attraction seems to be these bears that are in the centre of the city. We also stopped in Bern to take stock. It seems that while the interviews with the CEOs and the packages on the luxury industry are our main focus, the trip is turning out to be an episode of Survivor … or is it Big Brother? We’ve had a flat tire, we’ve had complicated driving in Basel resulting in mounting curbs, we’ve had a lost wallet, and now the piece de resistance is our hotel in Geneva. All I will say is it is in the city’s red light district and the corner shop not only sells water, it also sells X-rated material. I went to sleep making sure I stayed in one spot. Rubbing salt on our wounds is the fact that we will be doing interviews with CEOs today in beautiful hotels. Such is life. All that said, I’m having a really fun time. This doesn’t feel like work at all. Even standing out in the rain yesterday by Lake Geneva as we shot links for our special didn’t feel like work (the special, by the way will air this weekend). It’s cold in Geneva but despite a few glitches we’re all in one piece and having a lot of fun. That’s what I keep telling Paul. Let Day 8 begin. Posted by: CNN Anchor, Monita Rajpal |
