Beat was kind to arrange for a night stay with one of his friends – old time church mate who stays at Thun, a city 30 mins from langnau.
Chris and Lilian have a 22mths old daughter, Lizie. She is absolutely adorable, a girl full of smiles. Chris is Swiss and Lilian, a Brazilian, how cool is that?
That night, we had another swiss meal, bbq chicken with melted cheese and pineapple, salad and potatoes. We had visitors for dinner, a lady and her 15 yrs old daughter. We talked much about our small city and they were amazed just how small a country can be. We looked around us and found that there were more than 5 languages spoken at the table – Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Chinese, and of course, English – the common language amongst us.
It was special night. Thun had a match against Zurich. Everyone said Thun would lose, but the outcome, they won, 2 to 1. We had the privilege of having one of Thun soccer players for dinner, he came after his match. He was half Italian and Brazilian, which explains why he is a friend to this family.
Next morning after breakfast, we braved the cold and walked 40 mins to Lake Thun. I nearly gave up half way, my fingers were frozen although they were tuck in the jackets. Nathan was hibernating in his pram throughout the journey. I thought it was not spectacular but it was the fact that my brains could also be numb from the cold, couldn’t think much of the view – a pity.
Evening came, we bid goodbye to our new friends and travelled to Bern.
