Mailman

At last! A photo of a Neuchâtel mailman on his mail scooter.

Neuchâtel port

Behind the ferries in the center is the large main Post Office.

Lake view of Neuchâtel

Yesterday we took a bike trip to Avenches. We started by taking the ferry from Neuchâtel to Portalban,
a town across the lake. This is a view back towards Neuchâtel as our ferry was leaving the dock.
The large building in the foreground is the main post office.

Neuchâtel mail bikes

Neuchâtel's mail carriers make their deliveries on yellow motorcycles. Though I see them in action most days,
I never seem to have my camera handy at the right moment.

Gimmelwald mailman

On Monday, our first full day in the Alps, we trekked up the hill from our village of Gimmelwald to Mürren. 

About halfway up, we encountered the mailman on his way down in his postal sled. The three of us sledded 

down this path several times, about a 10-minute ride.
