Gruyères | Switzerland 2012 | Snugug Photography

The image shows a cobblestone square in a European town, surrounded by buildings with colorful awnings and a mountainous backdrop. In the foreground, there is a fountain in the center of the square, with a few people walking around it. The square is lined with buildings, most of which have a yellow awning. The building on the right is a restaurant called "Hotel de la Fleur de Lys." The restaurant has a large sign with the name of the restaurant on it and a few people are sitting at tables outside, eating and drinking. The building has multiple windows on the second floor, all with brown window frames. In the background, there are more buildings, as well as a mountain with a clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds. The buildings are all quite old and have a traditional European style, with intricate details and colorful decorations. — Gruyères

On the top of a hill, a small walk from the train station, is the medieval town and castle of Gruyères. Even though it was cloudy, the day was still pretty picturesque. In town, I had my very first taste of real Swiss fondue. Amusingly enough, in this quaint medieval town on a hill in the Alps, there's an H. R. Giger museum, right out of sight, with sculptures that look straight out of the Alien movies.

While I don't have any images from it, my day ended at a Swiss chocolate factory back down the train line, making this a Very Good Day for eating and exploring.
