Lost in Bern. Sounds like a Bill Murray movie. Lost back in time. The three of us were trying to find our way to the Bear Park. Walking in never ending circles around the old city streets when an enticing ice cream parlour became way too tempting. Temptation is a slippery slope to ruin or in this case a slippery cafe floor. Carrying 3 ice creams and drinks was way beyond me and I went head over heels. The Muppet Dad was on the floor covered in various flavours of ice cream and coke.
An embarrassing silence descended on the busy cafe.
Silence broken by Hawklad who loudly announced “HE is not my Dad, I have never seen him ever before…”
He was 5 and already he knew me way too well.
Doing a bit of that alpine climbing.
A Dad trying to cope with the loss of his Partner and becoming a single parent. 
Cute story and beautiful photos. Great rainbow capture!

I giggled 🤭. My first thought, after your first sentence, was the movie, “What About Bob?”. And thinking of Hawklad (“that’s not my dad!”) lol. I have an embarrassing falling story on a vacation~are we even human without them? 🤭 I love how you take us through your memories with such heartfelt sincerity. Thank you my friend. The photos always make me love Switzerland even more. And your journey even more so too. Hugs and prayers, 💛💛🙏🏻🥰
