GRUYERE, SWITZERLAND

This is the delightful hilltop village of Gruyere where we stopped to

climb up another hill to a investigate the village & Castle on top.

Right around in this area we started climbing & winding up, up, up, on a road so narrow

I'd swear no other vehichles would fit on this road little alone us in the big coach!

Yet we passed a good plenty & I swear there could have only been an inch or less

between our vehicles & at a good 80 degree angle! I fully expected to hear some scrapping

anytime! Yikes!! And just when I thought we were near the top, we went up some more

MOUNTAIN, up through JUAN'S Pass!!

This was on our way to Interlaken, Gruyere & Lausanne Switzerland. Breathtaking for sure &

WOW what a view!!

Doesn't that just take your breath away! I could feast my eyes on this all day!

Switzerland is literally sourrounded by a fortress of Mountains guarding it's people.

It would be near impenatrable & very costly to try & overtake it.

No wonder Hitler didn't want to try & invade it during the war! Instead, & we only

found this out after the war, that Hitler made a deal with Switzerland to provide him

with ammunition to fight the war in exchange for their freedom to stay neutral.
