The capital of Switzerland and home to the famous Bear Pits. Bern is a beautiful, fun and lively city that provides a beautiful foreground for the majestic mountainous backdrop. I had planned to stay here for only a day, but after two days, was somewhat sad to leave. I met a horse Jokey who generously showed me and some others a fun couple of nights out on the town. I also saw the Bear Pits where currently three bears are kept as a tribute to the origin of the city's name, and the rose garden, which is not much to see i winter, but has a great view of the city. I really liked the feel of the city and the friendly people I met while there, as well as other places that come from there and have made many friend from my short visit there.
