The Swiss capital of Bern was my first stop in the country, and I had the chance to stay with a friend I made in Nepal for two of my three nights.
I found the relatively small city full of curiosities, like the numerous water fountains, some of which are hundreds of years old.

Cool! We're going to Bern next tuesday, seems like a nice place. :)
The snow makes for some beautiful pictures, but wow does it look COLD!!! Gosh, I love the buildings in Europe…
Gorgeous – I haven't been to Bern in the winter, it's quite lovely in photos but does look a bit chilly, as GloballyButterfly mentioned :)
Andy – there's no doubt Bern, and Switzerland, is cold in winter! But, it was very picturesque. I think it's the kind of country worth visiting in both Winter and Summer.
