Indeed the town is very beautiful. And perhaps Mel was swayed because it happened to be 25ºC weather on the day he arrived. Just in time to explore the city on a sunny and warm day. The locals were out in full force happily taking up the special offer. How can we not join them?
And good thing on this occasion he did not have to drive since the others wanted to. So he had all the time in the world to enjoy a nice, ice, cold pint. Whenever he desired. What a life!
Neuchatel is in the French part of Switzerland, and is somewhat different, not just from the normal daily language used, but also the vibe it exudes. Somehow Mel felt it to be more France! And an adventure awaits, as three men barely getting over jet lag started their little soujourn around the town that appears to be rousing with people and cheer on a sunday.
Find out more about how three men spent their afternoon here in this town that lies on the shores of a lake with the same name.
Seems like a cute place!

It actually is. Small town but quite a fair bit of history…

Funny that you picked Neuchatel. It’s a lesser known town but surely worth to visit. The french Jura is my favorite in Switzerland – not touristy at all and of stunning beauty.

Mel: ah it was not a pick. It was a town I stayed to get to office for a business trip!

I loved Neuchatel when I visited several years ago. This brought back a few memories.

Glad it did and perhaps it may trigger you to revisit! I did enjoy the visit, though it was with two other men (and colleagues too). And Suan missed out (again) so I need to get her to come along. It’ll be more fun. Next time perhaps!

Reading this on a cold night when it has just started snowing makes me more envious than any one person should be! Sounds like a dream!
