DAY 6 – NOIRAIGUE AND CHAUX DE FONDS
day 6 – noiraigue and chaux de fonds was a very hot day. we decided to spend it in the woods rather than in zurich and it was not a bad idea! before we left in the morning, the french alps were visible from our neuchatel balcony since the weather was quite clear. in downtown neuchatel, we ran across a farmers’ market...
DAY 5 – BERNE AND BIENNE
day 5 – berne and bienne was a great surprise. berne turned out to be my favourite place in switzerland! my usual strategy is to walk around a city until i get at least some idea of its geography. we did that in berne. this is the park where we started our visit with a short lunch picnic....
DAY 4 – GRUYERES AND MORAT
day 4 – gruyeres and morat comes a little later than the rest of the posts in the same series. but that’s the life of an amateur blogger: my day job always has priority! when i was planning the trip to switzerland, i made a list of things i wanted to do. and then, i also had a list...

DAY 3 – LAUSANNE

DAY 2 – NEUCHATEL
day 2 – neuchatel was my base city in switzerland. still, i only spent one day discovering it. this was the view from the balcony: lake neuchatel and, on clear days, the alps beyond it. it was the perfect place to wind down after walking around all day! we walked from serrieres to the city...
DAY 1 – GENEVA
day 1 – geneva is how i started my swiss holidays in 38 degrees heat. no, it is not a usual temperature: switzerland is currently riding an abnormal heat wave! i took the first pic from the airplane. i was lucky to catch the french alpes in all their glory. this is a picture of...
