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.


Ocean Varadero El Patriarca, Cuba

Hey Elizabeth!   The resort is beautiful, modern and really clean.   With the food there wasn't much variety. Basically the same thing every single night and even the 2 times we did go to the a la carte restaurants we weren't impressed. The chefs really need some more training unfortunately.   Another really bad thing was the pool. Tiles are popping off everywhere!!   The weather was great however. We only had rain twice and that was over night. The wind was a bit strong but it helped cool us down for the scorching heat.   The staff is wonderful as well except for the woman in sports bar who would make bad comments about everybody that walked up to the bar!! She thinks that non-Spanish people don't understand Spanish I guess. I actually made a complaint about her in my review cause I was so disgusted with her behaviour....very unprofessional.   All in all it was a good vacation.   The resort, beach, weather was beautiful.....the rest are just details that in the end don't really matter.
