lounging at lake neuchâtel


A sudden head cold put my ambitious hiking plans on hold for today. Instead, we relaxed in the little town of Grandson on Lake Neuchâtel.  It was a beautiful day and last chance to wear swimsuits for the season (Okay, I'm accepting the end of summer). We passed Yverdon-les-Bains for a quieter spot across the lake to picnic and nap in the grass before exploring the boat docks and wandering through the streets. 


A little bit of Swisstory: Grandson is famous for its castle, remains of prehistoric settlements, and battle victory for the Swiss in the Burgundian Wars (on my birthday, but in 1476).
