1/2 way through the week already (and this german keyboard is slowly driving me mad trying to find the various characters on it). The time is zooming past. Today we are off to Bern to do the whole culture thing. It's a lovely city perched high above a bend in the Aare river, once you don't mind several statues of a duke killing a bear in different poses or the ogre eating some children (have social services been informed?)
Most of the buildings are built in stone after they discovered that the wooden ones didn't like the large city fire they had in the 15 century.
Of course no visit to Bern isn't complete without a visit to the Bear Pit or now that they have upgraded it, the Bear Enclosure which houses 3 brown bears but no Goldilocks as Gilly declined the chance to star in that role :-)
