Bern 4/8/14-5/8/14

BERN!! One word: beautiful.

So much that Ms Blur suggested us to head there after retirement (not recommended though, too hilly and gets kind of boring after awhile but yes, beautiful). Reached in the evening and found our accommodation. It says "6 bed mixed dorm" but turns out they partitioned every 2 beds so it kinda turned into a very cramped private room which was nice cos we had the privacy while getting affordable accommodation. (Was supposed to CS but the host didn't reply after awhile) This Hotel Landhaus, 8.75/10. Right smack in the heart of Bern's city centre (at the bend of the river's meander) by the banks and just beside the bear park. Went out for a night walk and ended the night. Bear park and clock tower was okayyyyy, Parliament House plan was abandoned cos we didn't wanna note ourselves out after the Berlin one, but once again, we got ourselves lost in the old town (UNESCO heritage site)! Not once, not twice, but countless time so many we lost count of the number of times we pass by the clock. (Hostel gave free transport pass so we just took service 12 back to a recognizable place and restart the wander.
