Biel outing in the snow!

Monday, March 24, 2008

We took a trip with one of MrB's coworkers and his friend to Biel/Bienne. It was quite cold and snowy, so we didn't get to see much of the view across the lake, or much of the town, though we walked quite a ways up the hill. The town is dominated by a big Rolex factory/office building, and has a nice old part of town to wander around in. We went into an old church that had nice stained glass windows, and most importantly was warm! We warmed up in there for a few minutes before continuing on up the hill and back down and around to the lake where we watched a snow squall blow over the lake and turned into icicles. Then we headed back into the old town for a quick coffee and pastry to warm up before we hopped on the train back to Basel.
