20th June - Zurich to Bern

At the station we jumped on a train to Bern, capital of Switzerland. This was a bit of a detour for us as we had originally hoped to go east into Austria but found it hard to find anywhere to stay as it was a Sat night. Instead we found ourselves in Bern which turned out to be a really lively, cool place, full o...

5 weeks sure do fly by, especially these last few days in Bern. It feels very surreal that tomorrow morning I fly back home... it kinda just feels like I'm moving on to the next city, or as my cousin Sandra would say "adventure, adventure"! I am more than ready to come home, and I miss my life. Since I have been travelling, I find it tedious and...

Our second day in Switzerland we took a train to Bern, the Capital City. After finally getting around to stopping at a good Internet Café to catch up on emails and blogs we headed over to the old town. There are tonnes of cool shops there, neat fountains (see the Ogre Fountain) and all sorts of flags hanging off the building. We went down to the...

We decided to make Bern our base for excursions in Switzerland since it is right in the middle of the country. There were really only a few diversions here which also made it a good base for resting up. After arriving we checked into our hostel and set out to see a few sights. The city itself is pretty scenic but not a typical Swiss town since t...

It first started with a simple train ride from Barcelona to Geneva, then Geneva to the capital of Switzerland, Bern. The beginning of the travels started smooth enough at 7 am with a quick spurt through the ...

finally! switzerland! all that geneva wasn't, bern is, minus the snow-capped alps b/c my eyes aren't good enough to see that far. so needless to say, bern is a really pretty and chill town. only two problems: everyone on the street seems to be cheering for germany in today's world cup match (go sweden!) and saturday at 4pm, everything, EVERYTHIN...

Hello again everyone! First off, my apologies if I inadvertendly type a z where a y belongs, since here in Switzerland, I have the experience yet again with foreign keyboards where the keys are in fact reversed! This makes things a little bit more difficult for the touch typist that I am. I can only speak for myself when I say that my trip from ...

Today has been one of the best days so far. Sabine is an absolutely delightful human being and so easy to be around. We spent the day walking around Bern old town and along the river to the bear pit. We stopped and had a light lunch before tackling the rest of the city. The weather is sunny and warm which Sabine informs me was not the case just ...
