During the week we had a very full schedule to follow. The weekends were free. Since we had a Swiss travel pass, we were able to explore all corners of Switzerland. Cheese is one of the many things that Suisse (Switzerland) is known for, especially Gruyere! After a quick train trip, Mark, Kathe and I visited the Gruyere museum to learn about the process of how Gruyere cheese is made. Turns out that it is very important that the cows eat many aromatic flowers including lavender. Happy cows truly come from Switzerland...and they all wear giant cow bells.
Kathe & Mark in front of the cheese House. The cheese is ageing!
After the museum we visited the actual town of Gruyere! Beautiful!
To our surprise, we discovered an Alien museum (from the movie, Alien), and an Alien Bar!

Then we visited a Chateau! & the view from the chateau!
Gruyere was beautiful!! Great cheese, lovely cows and a funky Alien museum. It was a wonderful experience.
