Day 4 - Geneva We woke up extremely early today - at 6am. It was a free and easy day today. We learnt from the staff at the hotel reception that Geneva is a sleeping city on Sunday; ALL the shops are closed with limited pockets of cafes and restaurants that are open. I spent part of the morning learning from Emma how to make formula milk. I had to prepare myself for caregiving role for the week to come. Then we had breakfast at the hotel. We thanked God th...

Day 3 - Geneva We set off early in the morning at 830am plus for Geneva. The journey was from Rennes to Lyon and then to Geneva. The entire journey took us about seven half hours. The whole day was almost gone by the time we arrived at Geneva. We wanted to thank God for allowing us to catch the ride on time from Lyon to Geneva.

Day 1 - Normandy After surviving a long 13 hours flight from Singapore to Paris, we finally arrived at our destination at 7am.

We didn't do much in the morning; merely grabbed some bread at the convenience store and headed towards the JR Sapporo station to catch a train to the New Chitose Airport. The train ride was about 35min. We reached New Chitose Airport at about 930am. We spent the next few hours, shopping for gifts a...
