Biel/Bienne

Biel/Bienne is a the 10th largest city of Switzerland and is located on the northern edge of the canton of Berne. Famous for watchmaking, and home to Rolex, Omega and Swatch among other famous makers. The city lies at the foot of the first mountain range of the Jura Mountains area, guarding the only practical connection to Jura in the area, and on the northeastern shores of Lake Biel (Bielersee, Lac de Bienne), sharing the eastern tip of the lake with its sister city, Nidau.

I am still celebrating.....an amazing journey!

Sam's dedication and organizational skills made what seemed to be an impossible trip not only doable but one of my most memorable. A few days before my departure date, I broke my foot and ended up on crutches and an air cast for the next 6 weeks. Sam made sure essential assistance was available every step of the way.... even made last minute arrangements with a special spa retreat in a secluded village in Ethiopia! He is the best! Please...
