I didn't dare to enter a normal restaurant, without McDonald's I would probably stay hungry. It was not meant so seriously that quality has its price. Compared to other countries, Mc'Donalds is expensive in Switzerland. Ok, most things are expensive in Switzerland compared to other countries, I never said Switzerland was cheap. If you don't want to starve and spend a fortune on food, make sure you have an insider nearby, like me for example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way does anyone know when Mika’s performance is planned? I asked the organisers but never received any reply! I’m not really interested in the other performers and am too old to spend all day there. Thanks😘😘 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I got, the last time he performed in the afternoon? I suppose this one might be in the evening. Tho we don't know, but it's only 3 acts, and Mika is the main act of that day (I think? At least I have no idea who the others are) so he'd probably be last?

I also had the most expensive meal at McDonald's I've ever had (even though the menu was better than in most McDonald's in Europe). It was really nice to visit Zurich (and I've never been to Geneva either...) but I think I'll pass on this festival. Yeah well we stayed at a B&B / hotel kind of thing which wasn't overly expensive but where we had bed bugs in our room. We had stayed there before and were happy with it, so maybe we were just unlucky this time, but well, it wasn't the most relaxing experience... I had a look at the Nyon hostel Caribana have on their website, as they also have private rooms, but even the dorm beds there are already pretty expensive. Maybe I'll have to look for something in Geneva as well - shared bathroom is ok for one night, guess I won't stay longer then. Aren't there some MFCers from Geneva? Maybe we can camp in their garden? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a hostel in Geneva that's cheaper than the one in Nyon, but the reviews are less favourable. There are some campsites on the French side of the lake, and apparently there's a regular ferry in the high summer between Yvoire and Nyon. I guess the question there is what time the last ferry runs, and if June counts as high summer. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Well, I don't know how the camel story will evolve next year. But we can come to Caribana with small plush camel toys. We can wave them during the show or trow them on the stage. Next day we will find in the Swiss press an information that Mika has been attacked by a troop of camels!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
