Today we traveled from Vevey to Bern, Switzerland making a few stops along the way. Once again, I will have to keep this short as I am paying for internet at this hotel.
We drove through a smaller town outside of Bern to pick up Frank's wife Lynn at her hotel; she will be joining us for most of the trip.
From there we drove a little past the city of Bern to the USM furniture factory to have a tour. It was impressive. Not only did we get a thorough tour, we were greated with croissants, coffee, water, and juice, then given a nice presentation, then the tour itself, then a were given gift bags, then treated to a 3 hour lunch! It was an incredible tour, so interesting, followed up with such a wonderful meal of fish, then cucumber wrap with quail fried egg, then veal with potatoes in a cream sauce, then a fruit dessert (plums and others) then cofffee, all accompanied with a lot of white and red wine.
We left around 3 to go back to Bern. There we saw the bear that greats you at the main gate... as Bern means Bear.
We pretty much spent the rest of the day wandering the city. It is absolutely beautiful here. I'm glad we have a little more time here. It is one of my new favorite places!
