#Bern Munster yesterday. Beautiful 14th C building: lovely visit

#Switzerland
A row of single seat church pews with intricate carving on each stretching from foreground to distance
Two strange pew end carvings in dark wood - animal like but not recogniseable
A rounded end to the church with tall arched multi-coloured stained glass across 5 arches
The main church with pews and high vaulted roof, large organ at the far end
Did you go up to the tower? There's some mighty bells on the way up.
we didn’t - it was an impulse stop on the way to Thun really, but I will. It’s such a lovely city
Bit of a shame the weather's not great. Both Bern and Thun are so much prettier in the szn. Though I guess that's true for any place. 🤔
Enjoy your trip!

yes - would have loved more sun, but were predicted rain and didn’t get it so will take that as a win. Couldn’t see the mountains today either but will be back…
Good plan. Come back for a swim in the Aare. 😃

I was there last summer on a hot day and we found ourselves walking up the river with a billion people not wearing much, carrying dry bags and wishing we could join them
those windows! 😍
it’s absolutely stunning… actually Bern generally is really lovely, as is Thun, where we stayed. Went to watch the rugby in an Irish bar and hit full on plastic-Irish Paddy’s day which was a bit weird…
