Last real tourist day, on the way back to Zurich we stopped in at Gruyères (of cheese fame) and Bern.
 |
The approach to Château de Gruyères |
|
 |
View from the top of the castle |
The strangest thing about Gruyères, is that the
HR Giger Museum is right inside the castle. If that name isn't familiar, perhaps this photo will give you a clue:
 |
An alien-themed bar is not what I expected to find here. |
So in the middle of all this medieval-ness there's a whole lot of chest-bursting alien sculpture. It couldn't be more incongruous. Slate calls it a
biomechanical dystopia hidden inside a Swiss medieval village.
So, onwards to Bern, for a whirlwind stroll though the old town.
 |
Looking over the Aare |
 |
Park complete with bikes for kids to ride that you can borrow. The swiss have amazing parks. |
 |
Parliament building |
 |
Fountains outside parliament |
 |
Bears living next to the river! Zoomed out view of their habitat below. |
 |
This brewhouse bar next to the bear enclosure looked amazing. But...no time, have to get back to Zurich, flying out tomorrow. |
And so concluded the switzerland adventure.
