Bern

alrighty, so I know I havent written for a really long time, I just dont really have time. But I do now, so Ill right about my adventures yesterday :).
Well, for starters, I met two other girls in Zürich and then we took the train together to Bern, and we were to meet other people there. However, when we got to the station(huge and confusing!!) we didnt see them, so we called them bunches of times to get directions and spent almost an hour walking around the outside of the station looking for them..... but we finally met up. :P we walked around and stood at this clock, waiting for it to be 1 because supposedly it was supposed to do something amazing. so there was a big group of people waiting and when it turned 1 all that happened was part of it turned. we were standing next to an american couple and the guy was like "is that it? what the hell? Im so embarrassed.." it was kind of funny, because people had their cameras all ready, it was a nice clock it just didnt do anything. but after that we headed to the bear pit, its a pit with a real bear in it, i got so depressed. the bear was just moping about walking in circles, it looked really sad. :(
However, bern is a really beautiful city, and the river is very blue and clear. we all went up to the top of one of the churches, and it had an amazing view of the river and city. outside of the church there were a lot of old restored cars. they were so neat! :) i guess that kind of thing is popular here. oh, so theres this statue kind of in the center of bern, and its a man eating a baby, and holding more babies! i have no idea the story behind it, but i have to find out. its just a little creepy :P. heres a link to a picture:
the train back from bern to zürich was packed. people were sitting on the steps, and the aisles were filled with people, the three of us had to stand/sit on the floor. i didnt know it got like that. Karen thought it was probably because of the madonna concert in zürich. most likely. madonna`s really big here :P
overall, it was really fun, i really want to go back to bern and discover more of it.
Ill write about today on another post, this one is too long :P
