No rain today – hurrah! It stopped finally just after breakfast and we left in the dry.

Our route took us round the south side of the Bielsee, with great views north. We came across the building of a big new hydro plant where the Aare canal enters the Bielsee. Huge diversion of water – very impressive. The photo has an artists impression of the project in the foreground.

Lunch was in a fantastic restaurant in Neuchatel – on the lake. Excellent bike paths in and out of town along the waterfront. It is a bike path – honest!

Then a bit of a climb away from the lake for great views

before descending to the lovely town of Yverdon at the head of the lake. The beer in the town square tastes particularly good tonight after 150 miles in 3 days. Tomorrow we climb up into the Jura alps.

Helen’s track of the day:
If I was home I would probably be at a Bellowhead concert this weekend so the track is from them:
Let Union Be
A joyful song about drinking and friendship and such like things.
