night impressions

These pics are from our kids free days in Bern when we were able to go out.
But now we we back to staying at home. Torsten enjoys to watch the coverage of the german soccer league on TV. It is kind of a thing all men do in Germany. As it is two hours long I have some time to blog some.
We already enjoy the benifits of beeing close to home. Next weekend friends (kind of funny they are German and so far we only have met twice in the States) invited us to a Party in Zuerich (about an hour away) and the grandmas are coming to babysit for the night. I will also go to visit my sister in Munich as she had her baby, a boy named Anton.

family day

On the weekend we went to the mountains for the first time. We are so impressed with the public transportation that we decided to do the whole trip without the car. So we first had to catch a train from Bern to Thun (which is half an hour away and lays on a beatiful lake) then took a bus to Beatenbucht. The women at the ticket counter even broadcasted the bus driver to wait for us. So we arrived in no time at the bottom of the Niederhorn. To get up to 2000m we first took a mountain railway and then a gondola. We had a great time enjoying the view of one of the famoust mountains in Switzerland: Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau.
There were a lot of paragliders and it is amazing how easy the lift up in the sky. The way down was as much fun. We did some hiking and some riding on the trottis......





After a nice dinner in Thun the final blast was that when we catched the train back to Bern there was a play area in the train with a slide and gungle gym.
Now we are already planning what to do next weekend.
