At 8 in the morning we are leaving Basel on a wonderful morning with blue sky and we are approaching the highway Bern. We see the whole famous mountains of the Bernese Oberland: Schreckhorn, Finsteraarhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, Blümlisalp and Stockhorn, now blurring in the white back ground of the Föhn-clouds (the typical “mercury sky”) that brings the warm weather to the north, before it starts raining on the next day.

Before the highway descends to the Rhone valley we take the exit to Bulle, close to the end of the Freiburgerland, the canton with the famous Gruyere cheese. Bulle is the center of this valley dominated by the still snow covered Moleson and the long stretched Gruyere lake, artificially created by a dam. At the center we find a parking spot just in front of the tourist information. I ask where to buy the famous cheese. We have 2 laiteries (Molkereien) here, one right across the street and the other on 2 blocks away. We start with the 1st one, where we have a choice of 5 different ones. Sel, demi-sel, Douce, semi-douce, normal. The first one normal is the best and we decide to buy also 2 fondues with Vacherin, one with water the other one with wine. The city of Bulle is decorated with flowers everywhere and first guests sit in front of the restaurants and wait in the sun for their lunches. We buy a baguette and taste the cheese: wonderful. The second cheese shop (laitier) offers 8 types of Gruyere and we decide to get the youngest (Cuisine) and the oldest one (24 months old). [1]
