3 June, Thursday

Last but not least: The Capital, Bern!


Staircase from the Einstein Museum. Brilliant!
Beside the Old town these bears are living. Subjected to criticism from animal protection organisations, by the way...

2 June, Wednesday

If you are visiting Switzerland, and love the Sherlock Holmes stories, than Meiringen is a must!
This is the famous place where Holmes almost died in the struggle with Moriarty Professor, the "Napoleon of crime". There is a nice museum, partly copying the Baker street Museum in London. You can see the interior of Holmes` dining room on this picture:
There was a nice old lady who helped me with the guiding tape :)
You also must visit the Reichenbachfalls, where the struggle took place (as it is marked by a white star...). The weather was rainy, rather cold, and climbing up on an interesting little trail beside the furnicular I got totally lost... Ended up on some hilltop actually surrounded by sheeps...
But the falls are brilliant!!!! And so enormous!
At the town I met with a nice Americal couple who took a picture of me in front of the museum, beside the statue of Sherlock Holmes. And they also took a picture of me, for some reason, well, why not, I said. Maybe they are collecting Sherlock Holmes fans, and I am the Hungarian one....
