I quite miss Switzerland; as it was

I haven't been since 2000 so maybe I ought to go to Switzerland. I stopped going as by then there was little left of the schooldays transport I remembered with not just the loss of proper Swiss buses but things like boggie trams and ancient carriages once added to the rich cheesy fondue. Of course I could see it in a different light enjoying the changes and the wonderful scenery that never changes but since that last visit the price of a budget week's holiday with a Swiss Pass rover ticket has more or less doubled and it would cost  a thousand-quid skimping it. Not so bad if the sun shines for a day or two. I'll have to think about it, and it won't get any cheaper. Maybe a stay in Bern would be good as I still can't come to terms with the city painting it's fleet a luminous pinky-red when for me they will always be a slightly depressing but very tasteful military-green and cream like this Seventies FBW trolleybus No.54.
