Yesterday I caught the train to Lucerne to visit my friend, Lyndall. Today we went to Bern, the capital. The city is wrapped around by the river with many bridges. There is a pharmacy with a display of lots of old medicine ingredients. There is a bear enclosure with 4 bears, situated on the banks of the river, and includes a swimming pool for the bears. We walked down towards the bears, passing a large clock tower with a dial showing the months etc, also a set of figures which dance around on certain hours. We also saw Einstein's house where he lived while working for the Swiss Government.

    Good to hear it's still going well. On your own now will be a bit different.
