Pictures from Bern

On our way home from Zermatt, we stopped in Bern for the afternoon and dinner. Here our some pictures from our visit.

Little Geek Girl watching the chess players (we always have to stop and watch).


Nai-Nai and LGG in front of the Houses of Parliment.


The Geeks in front of the Zytglogge (clock tower which was once part of the city's western gate).


Nai-Nai in front of the main portal of the Bern Münster.


And ZDG and LGG, who climbed to the top of the Münster while Nai-Nai and I sat inside listening to the organ play. (Today LGG asked me to name the fifty states of the U.S. and when I named Oregon, she said excitedly, "There's an instrument with the same name!").


We then wandered down to the bear pits, but somehow the bears did not get photographed. Since we were at the Altes Tramdepot we decided to stop for dinner. It was a little early, but we wouldn't have been able to get a table later since almost all of them were reserved. Nai-Nai and LGG had spaetzle and ZDG and I had rösti. We caught the 7:32 pm train to Zürich and were back at our apartment before 9 pm.
