Our neighbors from Vendola, Val and Dennis, stayed a few days with us on their way to family visits in Sardinia and England. Flying into Zurich, they stayed overnight to see the city, then came down to Bern for 3 days: one for the Alps, one for Bern, and one for the Golden Pass and Chillon.
We spent Saturday with them on their tour of Bern. Unfortunately, Jon had to leave the Bern tour early for a rehearsal, but that night Jon made sure we gave them a “real Swiss dinner”, that is, raclette.
Sunday was Jon’s first performance in Switzerland, at the Stadtkirche in Thun. We went down early and visited the Thun Schloss.
Often in Switzerland we have seen rooftop gardens. This example is a tire shop, as seen from the tower of the Thun Schloss.
The Stadtkirche, the church where Jon performed, was a short walk from the castle. The event was part of Bach Week in Thun.
