DAY 8 (04 Oct 07, THUR) : LUCERNE - BERNE - INTERLAKEN
From Lucerne, we arrived in Bern, the capital of Switzerland. It’s a small town which pretty much looks like Siena in Italy, but with its own beauty. Bern looks small in scale than expected. The variety of shops is lesser as compared to Lucerne. Din managed to get any souvenir nor the cuckoo clock. We did manage to buy a small lighting display for our new home.
We had lunch at the self serve Migros. Nick had his beloved curry but it is not as good as the one in SG. As we walked back to the meeting point, the weather has cleared (it was raining when we reach Bern). The 2 bears (which Nick claimed that they belongs to him, siao ding dong) in the bear pit has come out! A lot of tourists buy fruits to feed them. Nick bought one portion too. These 2 bears are smart. They sit stationary and catch the food with their mouth open! The smaller bear is quite picky, he purposely give the apple chunk a missed and only catch the grapes!
We left Bern and reach Interlaken in the late afternoon. Interlaken is like a mini town! It’s a more touristy town, cos it’s a gateway for people to visit Top of Europe. We had a strolled in this town before we arrived at the Bebbis Resturant for our Swiss fondue combo meal.
The cheese fondue is not as tasty as expected, it taste a bit bitter and strong wine taste. The meat fondue is so so… Chocolate fondue is good. The best of this place is Mr. Bebbis! He is very entertaining, playing a very good host with his funny expressions, songs and games!
After the dinner, we went to buy our cuckoo clock! Finally found it! It was actually the same design as the first design I saw in Lucerne, but it has more moving objects here! Yeah!!!... Nick also got his swiss army set. A fruitful day!
