BERN

BERN. The smallest capital city in Europe. What can I tell you about Bern. First of all I loved it although, I have loved every city in Switzerland. My classmates and I took a tour through the city with our tour guide, ate lots of chocolate, had ein café und kuchen at a local café, and walked around the city for a couple hours. What’s not to love! I did learn about all the different dialects of German that are spoken throughout Switzerland. It was very interesting to be in a city where the German language is spoken and written much differently than I am used to.


I took a hike with Nicki, my roommate, up to the top of this hill to a rose garden and were able to look over all of the city. The photograph is taken at the rose garden.


After our tour of Bern half of the group took a train to Zurich and the other half headed for Interlaken. My group got to Interlaken around 8, walked to our hostel only to find that there would be nine of us girls rooming with one poor Australian guy. We were quite the intimidating crowd. Although I think he enjoyed our company.
