4 Destinations, 4 Days - Part 2

Day 2 of our travel adventure took us to the gorgeous city of Bern. So far, this may be one of my favourite cities in Switzerland. The whole old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and after visiting Bern, I can see why. The city is incredibly picturesque and laid out in an interesting way. The buildings are so beautiful and the river that runs around the city is such a magnificent colour. For me, Bern is definitely the city that looks like the postcards!

We spent the morning exploring the old town before heading to the bear park to visit the bears! After that we walked uphill (the view was worth it!) to visit the rose gardens. A feature of Switzerland is definitely how well-kept all the parks and gardens are. Now that it is spring, flowers have been planted everywhere and it is just so beautiful. In the afternoon I had to attend a meeting in Bern, so Terri enjoyed the afternoon exploring some other places by herself. We caught the train back to Lausanne and went for a walk by the lake (yes, water is another feature of Switzerland!) before coming back to my apartment to cook dinner together.
