Last day

Saturday now and only a few hours before I start my homeward journey.  
Not sure how well it will show but I have included a map which shows where I am. Nyon is on the lower and larger lake and then Lake Neuchatel is the one to the northeast. There are a few pics of Nyon coming to life in the morning, my hostellerie, the boulangerie and one of the butcher shops, there are 3-4 in the village.
I have put pictures of our outing on Thursday to Lake Neuchatel and you can see the lovely old home we were in for our meeting. In the house where we had our meeting, they had the large old tiles furnaces that are quite common in Switzerland and also Italy. There are pictures of two. The original ones worked with a fire but these I think use heated water. They are lovely to look at and I can imagine that the heat would be very soft, similar I guess to hot water radiators, but much larger and more of a feature in the room.
Nyon has markets on Saturday morning and they have been out there setting up for the last few hours, so I am going to do the whip around the shops and the markets before I do my final packing. There has got to be a good sausage out there somewhere waiting for me.
