About the Video:
After spending a week or two getting caught up on work here in Switzerland, I finally went out to do some shooting and exploring. And well my trip to Gruyeres was less about travel photography and more about just getting out and exploring a bit, I did manage to take a couple photos while I was at it.
Gruyeres is an interesting town. In many ways, it's very much like most other Swiss Medieval towns. But then, it's got this artsy under-current which, I believe, has a lot to do with the presence of H.R. Giger and the H.R. GIger museum and his famous Alien Bar. The result is this really cool contrast. On the outside, you've got your castles, cobblestone, and old town squares. Then, on the inside, you've got alien art, the crazy alien bar, and lots of modern art.
Anyways, the trip to Gruyeres was great. I also got some fondue in me and explored a cheese factory. And, after 8 months in Asia relatively cheese-free, that was a welcome sight.

Small trip in Switzerland, visiting the countryside and the city part of the country. Gruyères, Interlaken, Bern and Fribourg were part of the trip and of course a good fondue in Châtel-St-Denis. Also a little bit of hiking next to the Moléson.
The chocolate factory of Cailler was a big highlight of the trip :-)

Gruyères Switzerland - A Journey Back In Time To The Medieval Ages | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
If you are looking to take a trip back to the medieval ages you should definitely visit Gruyeres Switzerland. The houses, the restaurants and all the streets have retained their original character for more than 800 years, topped off with the Castle which sits at the top of the town.
Located at the base of the Swiss Prealps in the French-speaking canton of Fribourg, Gruyères has a lush vegetation going gently through rolling hills and it is famous for its cheese. We love the cheese fondue!
At the Castle of Gruyères, the Midsummer Day festival is full of surprises for all Middle Ages enthusiasts.
During our visut, the Castle celebrated St. John’s day and presented a medieval fair.
Potters, tailors, smiths, apothecaries and weavers are displayed there wares. Bakers and chefs spread the scents of their dishes. Acrobats and musicians spun in the crowd.
Enjoy the video and let us know where you're watching from!

Creepiest Place in Switzerland: HR Giger Museum
HR Giger museum also known as the Alien museum has been on my bucket list for many years due to it being one of the most bizarre museums in Europe and as an avide fan of the Alien movie franchise especially Alien, Aliens & Alien 3. A creation by HR Giger where he displays all his incredible surreal art works.
The Alien franchise is one of my favorite movie series out there, the surreal science-fiction horror genre became one of my favorites after watching these movies. I am extremely looking forward to the upcoming movie Prometheus 2 which will undoubtedly feature more of HR Giger's design even though sadly HR Giger passed away in 2014.
Checkout my photos from Gruyeres and the HR Giger museum:
In order to drive to Gruyeres, we made a few pit stops at Lausanne, Montreux, Chateau de Chillon and Broc where we visited the Cailler chocolate museum. At least visiting the HR Giger comes with a very enjoyable road trip since no airport is nearby Gruyeres thus very hard to get to.
Lausanne was exceptionally beautiful with its gorgeous the waterfront which must have been one of the best in the country. Basel was a quiet little town at which my mom and I parted ways, I jumped on the TGV heading towards Paris and my mom headed for Germany.
In conclusion, Switzerland is one of the most incredible destinations in Europe but be warned, this country can be very expensive if you don't prepare accordingly.
Where: HR Giger Museum
Price: 12.50 CHF ($13.00 USD) per person
Watch the entire Alien Series which HR Giger help design, like my favorites; Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 & Prometheus
