Neuchatel

We visited this awesome small lake town called Neuchatel the following Thursday. Ryan was really 'sick' so he took the day off of work and headed north west to Neuchatel. We rented bikes and biked around part of this awesomely huge lake. Then we wandered through the French-Swiss town. We found a really neat prison, turned the corner and BAM! There was a neat castle! Ryan and I decided that if we ever had to move back to Switzerland, we would want to move to either Lucerne, Neuchatel, or back to Bern. I can totally understand why tons of Frenchies retire here.

Basel

Saturday July 13th we headed north to a town called Basel (just like the herb!). Basel is interesting because part of the town is in Switzerland, Germany and France. All the countries touch each other in the middle of the river, so we walked along the bridge closest to the borders. We went to an awesome Cathedral and a boring museum. We went into another cool museum with neat old medieval Swiss artifacts and old money which was in the basement of a cool cathedral. We ate some good kebabs and walked into France. Basel is a neat little town, not too much to do tourist wise, but still neat. Its been such a long time I can't remember all the things that we did. Oh how I wish we could go back.
