Bern baby Bern
HI all, not sure if we will get pics loaded with this post, ancient computer. We had a couple of days in Bern Switzerland, a beautiful medievil city with lots of old buildings & churches that had lots and lots of steps to climb!!
City is on a river and has a bear pit nearby with 2 beautiful brown bears. Deb gave them a taste of apple, not sure how they liked it.
We then spent a couple of pleasant hours in a town called Brig, high up in the mountains, lots of snow to be seen on the higher peaks. Crossed over into Italy this morning, border guards came on the train & checked everybody out, Deb was not frisked this time, and we are now in a town called Arona on Lake Magiorrie in northern Italy. Hope to go on a lake cruise tomorrow but the weather forecast is not looking good.
Keep the comments comming and will add to this soon. Cheers all
(Mandy, we have recieved both of your comments, great to hear from you)

Hi Mike & Deb
Wow sounds like spring in northern hemisphere is giving you a real taste of chilly winds and memories of Tasmanian winter. Tulips should be popping out by now though with the longer days. Visiting relies in cemeteries is very sobering – our hearts are with you. The French riot I suspect would be worth recording as long as you didn’t get arrested by the Jaundames(?) in the process Michael.
Everybody is home for a short stint at the moment with the Bonstar down from Sydney for semester break. Ben’s found his niche writing policy in the Tas public service and Cal just keeps getting taller.
Lots of love & continue the dialogue with your great trip

You are seeing all the places in the world I have always wanted to see! We are so jealous but really happy you are having a great time. Keep adding the pics – they are fantastic!
