06.24.08Trip to Lausanne, SwitzerlandWe spent Saturday night and Sunday in Lausanne after visiting Morges. I will post those photos tomorrow. It was a great weekend and we had a good time. I heard more English in one day visiting Lausanne than I have during the entire year of living in Switzerland. Not only did I hear English but Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, German and other languages I didn't know. Vilay told me that forty percent of the population of Lausanne is made up of foreigners. Both Vilay and I have fallen in love with this city and I wouldn't be surprised if ...

06.21.08From Les Russilles to TramelanWe took advantage of the sun and caught the train to Les Russilles and then walked to Tramelan. From Tramelan we headed up into the mountains using a road with few cars. The road led to a farm at the top of the mountain with no outlet. So, we turned back around and headed back down into Tramelan where we caught the train back home after picking up items to make tacos for dinner at Denner. We aren't used to walking in the heat and took it slow stopping often to drink water during our four hour walk. It was ...

06.19.08Demi-tarif (Half-fare card)Click to view larger. In January, Vilay and I purchased two demi-tarif (Half-fare) cards for the Swiss train lines. Each time we buy a train, bus or boat ticket we only pay half the price with our cards. It is also good for discounts on other things like the funicular lines, car rentals and more. Click to view larger. Our three youngest children travel with an adult that holds a ticket for free in Switzerland until they are six years old. We will buy a Junior Card for my oldest before she comes. With this card she can ...

06.17.08Murten (Morat), SwitzerlandMorat is a picturesque city that in the past was known as a defensive city. Most of the ramparts and towers are still standing making this city a charming place to spend a day. I highly recommend Morat if you are looking for a small city full of history to visit in Switzerland. We are planning on going back this summer. However, we want to take the boat from Neuchâtel to Morat instead of the train. I know all four of my children will enjoy the boat. Click to view larger. My first impression of Morat was that ...

06.06.08Bulle, SwitzerlandWe went to Bulle in La Gruyère region on Sunday. We walked around Bulle for a couple hours before we decided we had time to sneak in a visit to Charmey. Bulle is a beautiful and well preserved city. Some of Bulle's main attractions (according to one of my favorite websites MySwitzerland.com) are: Gruyère Museum - the Musée Gruérien exhibits the region’s history, art and traditions. Old town – rebuilt on a grid system after the great fire of 1805 with many bourgeois houses from the era. Chocolate factory at Broc – the art of chocolate making can be watched at the Cailler ...
