Expedition

I had to go to Geneva for a interview that day. With the hash in 45,5 being about as close as it could get, it looked like a unique opportunity.

I did very little planning, apart from taking the GPS with me :o) I got the exact coordinates by SMS and entered them on the GPS while on the train.

Note for next time: bring sunglasses...
