A day at Le Gruyere

It was another full day as we headed to Le Gruyere and I must say it was a most enjoyable day.

First stop, it was to the Chocolate factory at Broc. An impressive historical tour about chocolate and the innovation of swiss that incorporated milk into chocolate. Sarah found the tour scary. Daddy Dan and mommy Joann were impressed at how automated Swiss systems are as we were ushered from one stage to another without the presence of a physical human guide.

The saving grace for Sarah has to be the final section of the tour that allowed visitors to eat all the chocolate you want at their display store. Sarah said, "this is a very special day!" I couldn't help myself laughing in the midst of stuffing my face with chocolates too.

Sanmy was busy eating and stuffing his pockets with chocolates to take back to Hannah and Josiah and Auntie Cc and his Shu Shus.

Second stop, we headed to the Le Gruyere Cheese factory. Very educational as we witnesses again how swiss automated systems work.

Finally, we found ourselves at Chateau de Gruyere. It was a beautiful castle set on a hill.


A full and a great day.
