Gruyeres Visit

Weather is great. Bright and clear blue sky await us. We set of to the cheese factory in Le Gruyere. We were a bit late and we didn't witness the cheese making process as we were late. We proceeded to the visit the old town of Gruyeres. It is also where Higer's Alien character museum is located.

We had late lunch at the restaurant, Gruyere Traditions. By the time we leave the place it was already 1745H. We had a great time.

The view surrounding the place is fantastic. I believe the cows like it here.


1851H reached St Maurice.
