True, I am very late writing about Bern, but here goes. I arrived in the night, greeted by my extremely shy couchsurfing host. We had a mix of sunny days and crummy overcast but that’s life. My host, Eve, urged me to spend maybe only one day in Bern, then go to Zurich, Interlaken, or Basel. I protested. However, she was quite right. Bern, while being the capital was very small and quite frankly, not a whole lot to do. Luckily for me, Buskers Bern happened to be over the weekend, so I got to see some great street artists. Also, I learned about geocaching and orienteering.
Things to do/see in Bern: Bear Park, (live bears in Bern), Rosengarten, time clock, and the city hall, maybe Parliament (which I couldn’t get in to). Then you’re done. I finally took Eve’s advice and went to Interlaken and hiked a mountain. This was fun as well but rainy weather got the best of me. Not to mention I haven’t seen prices so high since I left Oslo. Switzerland ain’t no joke. I almost forgot, what’s cool about Switzerland is that they speak Swiss German or French. Swiss German is another language as far as I’m concerned.
