--- John,
Switzerland!! You will enjoy this I know. We have family there and
visit often.
One thing I would say about the train pass. Watch which train
companies it is for. There are so many in Switzerland and some of
the fun touristy little trains are not included.
Can I suggest 1/2 day in Chateau D'Oex (pronounced Day). this is
where the Round the World hot air balloon 1st successful trip was
launched from. The village takes pride in this and has a beautiful
piece of art in the middle of a round-about on the main road in and a
small museum.
There is also a wonderful resturant that has a Cheese making
demonstration with traditional tools. When we watched it the
cheesemasters wore traditional garb. It was fasinating. It also
helped to know that our grandfather was a cheese master for a near by
village and we were seeing how he made cheese back then.
Take the open train from here into Bulle it is very nice and cosy. Enjoy Mary Oregon |
