SWISSIE LAND

On Saturday we drove from Paris to Bern and got some beautiful hot weather so we could have the top down the whole way. At one point, I had been driving a little while and the car was bumping quite a lot...so I asked Kris if he thought it was the road, but clearly it wasn't. Turns out the tire was about to pop, so luckily the boy knows how to change a tire and we were able to get back on the road again pretty quickly.

The French borderlands with Switzerland are really gorgeous and we got our first glimpse of the Alps rising up in the distance. It was 1 August, which is the national birthday for Switzerland...so after a delish dinner with Tina and Simon and then walked into the center of town to watch the fireworks display. And then on Sunday we went to my friend Anja's house for a garden party...which was great, even though it got rained out a bit later on. Then Toonie took us through Bern to go to the local microbrewery which overlooks the river and city and we had a great dinner (I was dying to have spatlzi!) and taster flight of some great beers. More to come...
