7/12/2017 Switzerland Day 3: Murten, St Peters Island, . . .

Photos

Today we drove for five hours to see the local sites. We started in Murten, walked the entire walking tour with all 20 sites; then we drove to St Peters Island (where Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote the philosophical ideas that became the USA's Declaration of Independence and the USA's Constitution). We hiked the entire length of the Island, which took longer than expected. We had lunch about a quarter of the way in. Then we drove to Grandson castle and finally drove home.  We went through four different Cantons and all of the locals are completely bilingual French/German. Our daughter decided to speak German. It was a long day. For dinner at 8pm I made local Raclette, salad, & some other stuff with local cheeses, other local ingredients in the awesome flat from AirBnB. The local dairy products are to-die-for awesome (Yogurt, milk, cheeses).











Tomorrow we shall make one or two stops locally on our way back to Herrliberg.
