And this watch, around £50,000! Their most expensive was around £85,000. The brand is BlancPain, which I think must refer to the white pain you experience when you receive the bill. Duly entertained, we returned to our budget hostel.
Spanish room 2. This one was donated by Spain and an agreement to end one of the World Wars was signed here.
Catholic shrines also abound
Venus fly traps. The botanic gardens has a great carnivorous plant collection. As a kid I used to collect these.
Valle Maggia. After reaching the valley we were soon hiking. This was the view from a 150 m suspension bridge.
Spanish room 1. One of the hundreds of meeting rooms at the UN. The 1st Spanish Room was so successful they donated a second. The ceiling took years to create and will doubtless cause an international incident, should a 'stalactite' drop onto a delegate's head.
UN HQ. The UN has public tours. The book shop alone makes them worthwhile.
Summer training ground for international teams
