Not fit for human consumption.
The guide was great. The cookie company and cheese company products were not what anyone should eat. On the list of killer, habit forming things that should not be eaten. Full of sugar, carbohydrates, highly processed grain, saturated fat and cholesterol. The views from the bus were great. Bern was great except for the bear habitat. Would have been nice if there was time for lunch in Bern. Great photo opportunities in Bern.

After our next coach ride via a "Bio"/organic zone of farming land (with very interesting inf...read more

It was an amazing day, made even better because Patrick was wonderful and added so much to the tour. Bern was lovely and the drive through the rolling hills was nice as well.
