We are taken to Bern, and giving a guided tour of the Capital of Switzerland. During the coach trip to Bern, it was noted by the Alumni present that it was dissappointing to see that 20 alumni did not show up. A great shame, specially as this trip was excellent, and very well organised.
The first part of the visit takes us to the bear pit, where a lazy bear is being fed by excited tourists. We threw a couple of bits of carrots (a few hesitated to throw me in), and headed straight for the Tourist Centre. We were not particularly interested in the gifts, but more so in the brewery and bar next door. We were served up with a spectacular platter of Pretzels and 40 litres of beer - GREAT!
A delightful guide took us through Bern and pointed out various interesting points, and we headed back for Vionnaz, where we were invited to a Swiss Dinner Party.
The Swiss Dinner Party was great - a choice of Raclette or Fondue (I couldn't think of a better choice).
This dinner concluded the Swiss Alumni Reunion, which was a fantastic experience. I, for one, had an amazing time, and I am sure this feeling is shared by all who attended. The organisation was exceptional (thank you Michelle) and the entire organisation made us feel very welcome.
