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.
