Climber John Harlin continues Swiss border adventure

The American climber and writer John Harlin III begins the third and final chapter of his attempt to travel the entire 2,000km Swiss border. After paddling and cycling along the northern and western borders, this summer he will climb the thin, and often dangerous, alpine line that separates Switzerland from its southern neighbours. Follow John's adventure through his multimedia Border Stories, live on swissinfo.ch, Facebook and Twitter. (Michele Andina, swissinfo.ch)

So schön ist es in Bern an einem Wintertag

Die kalte Aare fliesst.
Die wärmende Sonne scheint.
Die Tage werden langsam länger.

Das Marzili wartet auf den Frühling.
Wir warten auf den Frühling.
Ich warte auf den Frühling.

Sturheit ist unbezahlbar.
Wer im Leben seine Chance verpasst, wird es immer bereuen.
Jeder und jede ist ersetzbar.

Klug ist, wer vergisst.
