A Saturday Trip

Some Saturdays ago, Sandra and me made a trip to Gruyerès, which is an old, very small town on top of a hill. The town gives its name to a famous Swiss cheese, but it is also a tourist attraction, because it has a nice little castle and is situated just at the foot of the Alpes. The only strange thing about Gruyéres is, that they speak a very peculiar, weird language there, that almost nobody in the world understands: French.





The castle was hard to take a picture of, but the two pictures above give a good impression what it looks like: no cars, but a lot of traditional houses. Anyway, it was very touristy even in october (hoards of crazy Russian housewives, running around in souvenir shops like Swiss cows when a wolf is after them). The best thing is the landscape around the city.





Obviously, it has become autumn even in the land of chocolate (which, thank God, is not sleeping during the winter). The leaves change their colours in many ways so that every tree you look at is like an artisitc masterpiece.




After having a walk we went to eat something. The dessert was the following; it's what we call 'Coupe Danmark". It's basically vanilla icecream with a lot of liquid chocolate all over it. You get a jar of melted chocolate so you can add as much as you like.



I will post more autumn pictures soon! At the moment, I have a lot of posts I could make, but of course I want three comments at the minimum before making another one. By different people of course...
