Lyon, France




Lyon… J and I headed to Lyon the past week. It is so good when you can combine work with pleasure. And that was what this week was all about: us in Lyon attending a meeting about vaccines.

We stayed in a hotel with a fantastic spa that I enjoyed after the work was done. Wonderful for the body and soul! I became a big fan of the hot water pool on the outside with a shape of a labyrinth where you had booths with different kind of Jacuzzis. But let’s start from the beginning:

- - Meeting: very nice, I have learned a lot from the bests.

- - Taxi drivers: oh mon dieu! What is this? Smelly, slow, always parked in specific spots and not driving around the city which could be just a little bit nicer for us customers. First night we walked forever and it killed my feet!

- - People: apart from the incompressible snobbish of the majority of the French people we met some very nice people along the way.

- - Evening: everybody is out enjoying friends or lover’s companies. Super!

- - Food: too much cream for a lactose intolerant as myself

- - Wine: weeeeeeeee! Goood!

- - Fashion: with so many nice shops why are you so badly dressed?

Overall a very nice experience! Now it is good to be home but not for long. Tomorrow I am flying to Stockholm for a course in Malaria Immunology.

See you soon!
