Bern...

It is our last morning before heading home..

       Dad and a couple daughters enjoying

             the moment 

 Our final day of adventure...one group to Bern

While the capitol building is their prominent building of notice

I am more impressed with the Cathedral 

But getting there comes first...

leaving the neighborhood 
on to the train

On the train and getting closer

With its UNESCO-listed old town, cathedral, clock tower, fountains and numerous arcades, Bern is one of Switzerland's most beautiful cities.

Here is my quick look down the lanes..

upstairs ↓ and downstairs ↑

Entry going down or to the right, two steps up

A beautiful ride.. just a distraction for us
we ride the trains, and walk 

Closed for lunch 

This is a landmark...Chocolate is the best
in Switzerland... For years 

This is a river you can actually "ride" down and Anita did it yesterday. On a tube. Dry Clothes in plastic.  We could not manage it today, it's a long story.  But, a beautiful and long river


Stop for lunch

I had Rosti almost every day 
Who does not love potatoes and cheese
and bacon

and the view

There are three bears, but only one in view

Yes, the Swiss capital of Bern is known for its bears, which are a long-standing symbol of the city and can be viewed at the Baren Park ( Bear Park ) BärenPark. While the bears live in a spacious, naturalistic enclosure along the Aare River, there are no longer any native wild bears in Switzerland, and the bears in the park were born in captivity.  

Walking through a residential area

 

fooled me,,,,for a minute   

Then we caught a bus

and then found the store inside the mall that was hidden inside...

And much, much more, but we must get back to the train...

A little free entertainment along the way

and on the bus  

Almost home 

It took the family

and

we did it  

And thank you Dale for this gift 

And that is the end of a beautiful day

and

A beautiful family gathering 

I live an exciting life
