Neuchatel visit

Last Thursday we went to Neuchatel, Switzerland with one of Mike's teammates, Steve. Our initial reason for the trip was to get some Domino's pizza. Steve has been to this city in the past and remembered the American Fast Food chain being there.

Side note: We constantly crave the "American cuisine" (mostly convenient, greasy, fatty,  fast food). There is only 1 chain restaurant in Fribourg = McDonald's.


Our journey took about an hour, heading to the northern, more french, part of Switzerland.  Already having previous knowledge of the city's beauty, we were planning on doing some sightseeing as well…but we needed to get our lunch fix first.

When we arrived to the Swiss Domino's….IT WAS CLOSED!  ...Thankfully only until 5pm (and it was about 2pm.)  So we grabbed something else quick to eat then prepared to start our sightseeing.

We ended up parking in a car lot near Lake Neuchatel, then started walking.  We walked along the water slowly, we were all in awe of the magnificent beauty within the scenery. Over the lake, towards the South housed the Swiss alps, then to the other side were the French Alps of the Jura mountains. We along stone paths and past a large boat marina gazing at the sites around us.

After soaking in as much sites as we could, we headed into the city, which was almost as equally gorgeous. The majority of the buildings looked as if they were made of gold, the whole city sparkled. We walked in and out of many stores and boutiques. We also made some delicious purchases at a chocolate shop.

When we explored the city as much as we could we headed back to the car, walking along the lake shore again. Being a later time of day, we were able to get some different pictures.

We ended up ordering our pizza "to go" on our way back to Fribourg!
