Schilthorn Part II

The fantastic revolving restaurant on top of the Schilthorn where one of the early James Bond movies (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) was filmed. We had a fantastic lunch while we took in the 360 degree view.

That's the helipad back behind Kathi.

Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau again.

If you've seen the Bond movie, then you might recognize the next two shots from the ski chase where they ski off the roof of the house.

Headed home after a great day.

Schilthorn Part I

What would a trip to Switzerland be without a day in the mountains?

Just to give some scale to the cliffs: the cable car in the shot below is actually quite large. It holds about 30-40 people.

This village in on top of the cliffs that the cable car takes you over.

Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.

That's Thun and the Thuner See just over the ridgeline with the Jura off in the distance.

Bern Part II

The Muenster, a gothic cathedral built in the 15th century.

Heaven and hell carved out over the main entrance.

The bears have a new home in the Baerenpark beside the Baerengraben (bear pitt). Last winter two cubs were born. The mother was just taking them into the den when we arrived, so I didn't get any photos of them.

Bern Part I

The Bundeshaus (Federal Parliament)

A few familiar names in the Kornhausplatz.

A pharmacy in the city.

I love the covered promenades with all the shops in downtown.

The Zytglogge (clock tower) is almost 800 years old.

Urtenen Part III

The Berner Oberland in the distance.

The Jura in the distance.
