Young Boys away

Mr Pickwicks seems to be main English pub and that opens at 11.30am

Has got some good reviews, and looks to have a good selection of beers. Pie and chips will set you back about £23, but it'll be the same everywhere.

Having lived and worked in Geneva for four years I would highly recommend the Lady Godiva as the pub of choice in the city. It's in the Plainpalais district. Like everwhere else in Switzerland, the prices are eye-watering. Fish 'n chips; sausage, mash and gravy; all day full English; curry platter, and the burgers are really great. The landlord - Glen - is a big Fulham fan and a top bloke. The bar staff are the friendliest in town. Highly recommended venue and much better than Mr Pickwicks.

We're on the Manchester to Cologne flight on Tuesday return Thursday. Train to Bern has cost us £105 return with Trainline.

If anyone is looking for accommodation there are still vacancies at Hotel Glocke. It's a hostel in the city centre but looks alright. Prices are about as reasonable as it gets in Bern

That the 7am flight?

Anyone going to Barengraben? When watching Young Boys in Bern, erm, what else is there to do?

BärenPark | Tierpark Bern

Die Berner Bären sind im BärenPark mitten in der Stadt zuhause. Hier leben die «Mutzen» in der Parkanlage am Aarehang.

I posted about those Bären a month or so ago, and was told how expensive they would be. It does look wunderschön.

11 Swiss Franks to get in that part of the zoo. Looking at going there. That's a price of a pint, or so. Or ten in the Working Man's Club.

I think I should have stayed longer in bern rather than basel

Yeah I caused confusing by using Bär singular, so someone thought I was on about drinks.

It isn't even a pint it is a 0.88 (500ml) so well worth visiting Bungle, Rupert and Paddington.
