Day 3:

Today in the morning and the evening we went to Bern Bear Park which is a beautiful park, where bears can roam wherever they want, secluded or almost right by you. Instead of taking the tour of the park Josef and I wondered around the park by ourselves which was a huge score because we got to see two bears playing with each other.
For dinner we had Schoengruen we had a great time their and the food was extremely fancy and good but it was very pricey. It is ranked number 17 of the best restaurants in Bern.

Everything in Switzerland was so cool and while we were there some things were happening like two dolphins died of a drug in their system or the Swiss canceled the half-pipe because of the lack of snow. It's current leader's name is Eveline WIDMER-SCHLUMPF it's currency is in Swiss Francs which equals 15.89 U.S dollars. I would recommend you going there because it is such a wonderful place.

Day 2:


We went to the Swiss National Park which is the oldest out of all the National Parks in the Alps and it dates back to 1914. Some of the animals we saw was Ibexes, Chamois’, Marmots, Northern Hares, Lizards, and Innumerable Birds. In this park range there are even ancient trails used by the ancient scandinavians. We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the reason for that is we sat down on a boulder and overlooked the scenery and it was so beautiful but it was sad that we had to walk back.

Day 1:


Today we went to Aletsch which is a Ski range that is in the Swiss alps and since Josef is a great skier he decided that we needed to here. I wouldn’t ski though so I got a snowboard instead, it was so fun snowboarding but after a few wipeouts I had to sit for a bit. While Josef went to the highest part in the range the top of Fiescheralp. He said that I needed to do that also but I would not do it so he did it twice more when we got back from lunch. 
At lunch we ate at Bellevue Palace 4 and ½ star Restaurant and Hotel in Bern. It was authentic swedish cuisine I had the Fried Pike-Perch Fillet with Crayfish Tortellini and Truffled Peas. Josef had the Sautéed Fillet of Rabbit and Brandade on Carrot and Pistachio Mousse. They were both very good but I think mine was better because I wasn’t eating a rabbit but Josef thought his was better because he hates fish. We had such a good time today and we can’t wait until what we do tomorrow.

Josef and I (Will) had a great time in India our first day we visited the Taj Mahal it was beautiful and huge I found out that it was created for a memorial to Shah Jehans favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. For lunch we ate at Bukhara for dinner at Bukhara we both ordered the dal which is a type of curry dish, it is rich, creamy and very good. It is basically made up of lentils, peas, or beans and it is full of protein and it takes 48 hours! of stewing. It is said that Shah Jahan after 22 years of building and had the hands of the sculptors hands cut off so that they wouldn't ever build something as beautiful as the Taj.


Our second day in the morning we visited Arunachal
Pradesh it is a beautiful area and we had a great time. It is a province of india, it is a beautiful land, it is also is currently being debated if it is china's land or India's land.
We did not do much for lunch but in the afternoon we went to
Simlipal National park where we saw a white tiger in the wild
it was so cool. This wonderful park is in the northeast part of odisha. 
Our guide said that the national park was 2750 square kilometers. 
It is also a tiger reserve, witch is why we wanted to go there.
Then for dinner we ate at Karavali. At Karavali I had Alleppey Fish Curry and Josef had Koli Bhartad. Alleppey is a type of curry of course and it is a special of south India. Koli Bhartad is a type of curry flavored chicken both the dishes were good and we tried a little of both and Josef didn’t like the fish.

Our third and final day we went to Kanpur in the morning
and in the afternoon. It is a city that is very advanced, 
it has many beautiful buildings. It seems like it has thousands, 
or ten thousands of tanneries, and thus it has a nickname
of "the leather city of the world".

For dinner we ate at the Wharf. Josef had the Moroccan chicken steak and I had a King Prawn. The Moroccan Chicken Steak was deliciously seasoned and was very good and full of taste. The King Prawn was fried and was very good.

That was our wonderful trip to India I definitely recommend you going their because it is a beautiful and culture filled place but keep in mind that 1 U.S dollar equals 53.64 rupees. When we were their though it was scary because in Odisha a group named the Naxals had hacked somebody to death and left him laying in his own blood. It's current leader (Pratibha Patil) was not happy and is trying to act against that group.
