An Outing with the Neighbours

On Monday, our neighbour Madame Debely who lives across the road dropped in to see if we'd like to go out to see a view of Neuchâtel, the main town in the area.  She and her husband Monsieur Debely drove us up into the forest on the other side of "our valley" to a viewing tower overlooking not just Neuchâtel lake, but also the other 3 lakes which make up the "3 Lakes" area of Switzerland.  Considering Monsieur D is 80 and Madame D is 75, we appreciated this neighbourly gesture very much.  We had a very enjoyable time - in spite of my broken French.

The view west to Saint Blaise.

East to Neuchâtel and beyond.

Monsieur et Madame Debely and us at a little local establishment (at a horse riding school) nearby.  OK, so I'm drinking a Coke :(   AND I didn't take a horsey photo for Aja :(   :(


Great kids playground which I'm sure Aja would have loved, with the tower we climbed and the top of the funicular from Neuchâtel.
