After an hour of taking picture after picture of the breathtaking views of the Alps, we descended the mountain by gondola and cable car.
We went by bus to the sprawling Einsiedeln Benedictine Abbey. It was extremely ornate with a boarding school attached that boards between 400-500 children.
We continued to a local dairy farm where we got up close and personal to cows. It was very interesting.
From there, we went to a cheese producer and helped to make cheese. Then we enjoyed a cheese fondue dinner.
I gues it would be 'Swiss' cheese? Great pictures and nice hair bonnets 😘 Enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeleteNot Swiss cheese! It has to age 4 weeks, so we are bringing home cheese that was made by another group 4 weeks ago. In 4 weeks someone else will take ours---or so they say!!
DeleteI'll bring it out when you're there!
What an adorable cow! And great cheese-making attire! Another great day of wonderful sights. Can't wait to hear all about it and see more pictures when you get home.
ReplyDeleteThey really were cute cows!
DeleteAnd we're wearing our new outfits home today!!! Lol
How exciting.....all these new experiences your having! Making cheese, loving the cute little cows, the Alps......what next?!?!? Can't wait to taste the cheese! Great time there, and coming home to royalty here! We were so excited for Libby and the family when Doug sent the message, and yes, there were definitely tears! Can't wait to hear everything about your journey in detail and see all your wonderful pictures! 😘
