Innere Enge Bern

... of a barn. I would have given anything to have set that up for her in advance (notice I said 'for her') and seen the look on her face. Something tells me that might dim her ardor for barns from then on.<br><br>We toured/'walked around Gimmelwald for the requisite 15-20 minutes, took in all its sights, and continued our descent into Interlaken, where we had dinner, took in some Cow Zen, had a nightcap and hit the hay- although not literally.

... make sense? I know it seems strange, but that's just been interesting to realize. <br><br>I guess this is where I'll leave off on my realizations. :) All I know is the decision I made to travel is the best decision I have ever made, and hope to return back to the states with a different perspective! <br><br>And definitely get to Switzerland someday so you see what I mean and I don't sound like a wacko with my "energy" comments! haha :)<br><br>xo

... with threee British mates we met on teh bus ride in. The night was fun and disasterous at the same time. After having a few drinks at a local bar we decided to go downtown and hit up one of the popular clubs. Not entirely sure how to get there some nice blue collar construction worker at the local bar we were at overheard our problem and gave us a ride out there. He spent the entire ride informing me about how he hated Italy's curent president. In really bad english I mght add. But he ...

... how beautiful the site was. I am enjoying bern. although people are not as friendly as the portugese and it i soooooo expensive. Bern seems to be a city built on Tourists. Because everywhee there is tourist. however i can ee why tourists flock here. There is a church here that has the most amazing details. Instead of paintings on the walls and rovf, it was all carved. The town ins amazing... thats as much as i can say to explain thi place. it is a brilliant place to come ...

... The next day i took the tram up to Uetliberg mountain & climbed up aq huge spiral staircase to the top for a fantastic view of Zurich city. From there i decided to walk back to town & it was all down hill but took about 4hours! I then went to vist some quaint streets in the old town where the houses date back to the 14th century. I then found the energy to climb Lindenhof hill for good views of the old town & canal. Bye for now, luv Jo.x

... the trains to Bern, the capital of Switzerland. We went to the Paul Klee museum and looked at two exhibits. My Aunt left to go home early for the day and we just stayed out a bit longer, wandering the city taking pictures. Still feeling the effects of jet lag and sunburns!

2 Days in Lurcen. Highlight was Mt Pilatas in the swiss alps. Took a steep cog wheel railway up the mountain. Ali bought me a Swiss watch (TAG) from Bucherer A three story watch shop. Also went on cruise on lake Lacern and the Swiss air force was doing a aerobatic display at the same time.

... is yet to be figured out. Saw the geneva marathon. Uh. We saw this big fountain too. It was REALLY high. Gosh, I'm so ****** about the picture issue. Rhine river trip is this weekend. signing off...I just wanted to do this entry so I could see the little map go all the way over to Geneva

... ridges, and worked our way through feasts of swiss german delicacies, our hosts and casual interlocutors had other, weightier issues on their minds than where to get the best wiener schnitzel (not at the campsite on Lake Morat). Our journey was made the more interesting thanks to the invention of Schlaf in Stroh (sleep in the straw). Over a hundred farming families take part in this cheap version of bed and breakfast where guests are lodged in a hay barn and, on ...

... canals and little apartments are amazing. There are 5 main types of shops! Venetian glass, Ventian masks, Pizza, Gelato and Chocolate! We saw a Venetian glass blowing demonstration and wandered the streets getting lost and found again. Wandered to the Rialto bridge markets and had a huge slice of pizza for dinner for 1.50 euros ($3 Australian) the Italians are amazing, most can speak a little english but we have been getting into the spirit, speaking to them in Italian.
