A day in Biel (Switzerland) for Roger's Birthday

A "grill out" (we say Barbie in Australia)!! What a great team we are. This is the second time we have done this together. Look at the spot! Is this idealic or not?!! And what great mates to be with. We just love the company of Bernhard and Lorraine.

We even managed to find a local family winery to buy some red wine! Shame it was only one bottle, but then we had to hike back down the gorge, so we couldn't indulge too much!!
We have many pictures of the gorge. We walked to a height of around 750, so it was a gradual uphill (except at the beginning of the walk when we had to climb many steps!!).
In this picture you will see a main white cloud. The other smaller 'clouds' are actually the Alps. We could have sat and watched this scene forever.
Then, back to the local winery for a chat and drink with the locals (though it doesn't quite look like it here!!). Thanks Bernhard and Lorraine for a special day out. We left home at 8.30am and got back rather tired at 9.20pm. Roger had a lovely Birthday and missed many phone calls from family and friends back in Australia!
