A Day in Neuchâtel, Switzerland Switzerland is a small country and has much to offer off the beaten track. Neuchâtel is easily reached within 1 ½ hours by train or car. We chose to go by train and enjoyed the morning ride via Delémont, Moutier, Grenchen, Biel to Neuchâtel. The weather was absolutely stunning: a light fog covering the rocks …

How to Prolong Your Summer The best way to prolong your summer is to leisurely drive down south to southern Tuscany in October (when living in Europe) and stay out somewhere in campagna (the countryside)!
