We left our location in the small village of Habkerk this morning.

Here are a few last snippets from there.

We then drove through the Simmental toward Gstaad and Saanen.

This scene was photographed at Saanen.

This photo I took further down the valley at Rougemont.

Our journey took us to Gruyeres, the centre of Gruyere cheesemaking. This may seem like a spelling error, but, no. The village name has an "s" at the end, differentiating it from the similarly named cheese produced in the region.

Gruyeres is a small walled hilltop village, but very touristy.

This is inside the walls, on the one short main walking street, where no cars are allowed.

We did have a lunch stop of a croque Gruyere.

Shortly after leaving, it began raining. We drove in this rain all the way to our next destination.

More on that destination in my next blog.
