Bern and Thun, Switerland

We continued on the Bern. The weather continued to be overcast and drizzling. After checking into our Hotel, we took the tram to central Bern to see the Bears. Bears are the symbol of Bern. They have a new home and were moved from the "Bear Pits"





Bern is a beautiful old city. The river which runs through the center of town has Mennonite history. Many of the Anabaptists were drowned in this river.







The clock tower in the center of town rings on every hour including movable figurines. We arrived at 7 PM for the show.

We made a short stop at Thun. This is the region that the Peacheys originated from. The original family name was Bitsche.

We passed many vineyards in this area.






Notice the machine used to climb the very steep vineyard hill sides. It runs along a track to the top of the vineyard.
