Keeping the oldies entertained

Posted on October 24, 2016 By admin

This weekend was a busy one. We started out on Friday with a drive up to Le Locle and La-Chaux-De-Fonds, to visit the Musée international d’horlogerie and the underground mills of le Col des Roches. On the way back, we drove through the Col du Marchairuz, in the Jura park.

On Saturday, we drove up to Fribourg. We saw the marionette museum, the Pont de Berne (built 1653) and the Pont de la Poya (built 2014). Ben had a blast pushing the buttons in the Tinguely museum. I discovered that my wife and my in-laws don’t know who Johannes Gutenberg is (but they do know Steve Gutenberg, from Police Academy). The menfolk climbed up 365 (!) steps up to the top of Cathedrale St-Nicholas. We didn’t die.


On Sunday, we went to visit a WWII fort build on the French-Swiss border. This was the smallest goat path that the satnav had managed to send us down so far. Also, more steps!

Quote of the day

"It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever," he said. "Have you thought of going into teaching?"
