There are lots of different ferry rides to take around the "Three Lakes". We started with an easy one- Saint Blaise to Neuchatel. It had been quite a blustery weekend, so the ferry was very quiet. The ride took 20 mins with stops at the Latenium and Hauterive. In town, we played at a park, consumed some tasty, weird Falafels and took the bus home. Speaking of Falafels, if you're acquainted with them you'll know that the tasty weee gems, veg and sauce are all wrapped in pita bread. Not so in the Twilight Zone of Neuchatel. They load all of the stuff into a giant, soft roll thing. It's a meal in itself!
The ferry pulls up as we run to catch it.
Wind blown Walter :)
The 3 most handsome men in Neuchatel.
Allie enjoyed the trip... I think. At least no-one threw up!
The view from the back of the ferry as we left Hauterive.
The view of Areuse (where the cool gorge is).
Next time we'll go through the canal in Marin to Lac Morat (Murten) for a day trip. Toby is giving up his naps now, so we're a little more mobile. And harried.

Very nice pictures, Emma. Thanks for the enlargements.
Alasdair is very good on the telephone. They are both fun to talk with.
This morning we asked Toby if he enjoyed creche. He answered, "Yes. No." :)
Enjoy the Fete des Vendanges!
its just going to get colder? doesn't look too bad right now. How cold will it be when we invade?
You have room for Sangi Jr and Peanut Butter too right? Just joshing!
Does the water warm up in the summer? is it ever swimmable?
The lake is swimmable for about 1/3 the yr. Depends on whether you're used to the Pacific. :) The temperature goes from freezing in the depths of winter to up to 24 deg C by end of summer.
It will be cold by the time Christmas rolls around! I would expect the air temperature to be around freezing, the water temperature around 4 degC, and some sleet. Maybe some snow.
Just catching up on the pictures. It looks like it was a great day. Ferries are always fun.
Nick and I rode a ferry on Interlaken (sp?) and had a 3 course meal. It was snowing out and very beautiful.
