This past Saturday, we decided do some traveling within Switzerland, and it started out with going to the Swiss Capital -- Bern.
We arrived at Bern in the late afternoon, but much like Switzerland's other cities, you can basically see it all in within 2 hours. One of the highlights included the old town, which featured numerous fountains, clock towers, and an eclectic collection of shops and restaurants. Just by walking around, you wouldn't even know you were in Switzerland's capital, due to the city's small size and its buildings' modest architecture.
And despite the fact that some of Bern's most prominent sites, like its cathedral and parliament building were buried behind ugly scaffolding, we were still able to come away with some bear-riffic pictures (did I mention that the city is named after a bear?)

We crashed a party on the street thinking it's free wine and snack sampling and became the laughing stock of the party. I didn't really know what they said and laugh about in German. All of a sudden, people just started laughing. They were kind enough to invite us to join the wine drinking though. Someone asked us to take a picture with them. Oh no, they've got proof on camera. Man, I should've said no.
Do you know Roger Federer was born in Bern?
I have been to Interlaken twice and found it to be quite tranquil, besides this is where you go up to Jungfrau.
