On Saturday we went to Bern, the capitol of Switzerland.
Our first stop was the Rose Garden, which gave us excellent views.
I think Switzerland has the most beautiful grass I have ever seen. It is perfect!
I loved the architecture of Bern.
Bears are the symbol of Bern. The most ironic part of this is that the Swiss shot the last wild bear in the country during the 1980s. I guess they like the idea of bears more then the bears themselves. Along the river in Bern they have built a habitat for a family of bears.
The old town of Bern has a pedestrian street, making for a great people watch.
Saturday morning market.
Beautiful old clock.
The coolest thing about Bern was the Einstein House; The historically preserved apartment that Albert Einstein lived in while he worked for the Swiss Patent office. Of course, the day we were there it was closed due to water damage. Boo!
After returning from Bern we took a train up to " The Harder" Mountain (all the names sound way cool in a German accent.) The track was literally straight up the mountain, it was a little scary going up.
But totally worth it!
Our hotel is right next to the bridge in the middle.
