The train to Interlaken OST was late and we missed our train connection to Bern. We had to take the train at 0656hrs instead. We had salad for breakfast in the train.
We reached Bern at about 0821hrs. Bern is very nice. A lot of medieval buildings. We placed out backpack in the coin-operated lockers at Bern train station. The lockers cost us SF8. We then took Bus 12 to the bear pits. We were early and the bear pits were not open yet. We took a walk around and the bears came out. There were two brown bears there. They were Tuna and Predo. They are from Spain, Barcelona. After taking pictures of the bears, we made out way back to the train station. We bought a snack to eat at one of the eateries at SF3.40.
Just after the bear pits was a bridge, Dac wrote our names on the snow on the bridge’s ledge. The snow would have melted by now but I got a picture of it as remembrance. We saw the clock tower and Albert Einstein’s house. I wanted to buy a piece of cake to celebrate Dac’s birthday but we could not find a cake shop. We then took the train (1139hrs) to Geneva Airport (1624hrs).
From the airport, we are suppose to stay at Ibis Hotel for the night so that we can catch the early flight to Amsterdam. Ibis Hotel was just opposite Geneva Airport. We ran across the expressway instead of taking the long route. I picked up a portable harddisk along the expressway. One night cost us SF102.10.
We took the bus to Geneva Central. There was not much to see but it was extremely cold. The wind that blew was so cold that it went into the bones. The Christmas decorations were very nice. We went to co-op to buy more chocolates and to spend all our SF. We took a bus back to the hotel and ate salad for our dinner.
