Europe Day 9

We were all excited today for our sightseeing.� We had so much to do so we got up 7:30am.� First we were going to take a tour of� a Nestle Chocolate Factory 1.5 hrs away but when we got there, it was closed to tours for the winter.� Luckily it wasn’t the only thing we were going to see in that area so it only shortened our list of things to do.� Next on the agenda was to tour a cheese making factory.� That was very interesting.� The type of cheese they make takes 410 L or 108 gallons of milk to make 35kg or 77lbs of Cheese.� After the cheese factory we took a tour of a nearby castle which was also very cool.� Even though I know that the rich were always in castles I always thought of them as being very dungeon like and as I found out, they are not.� Rooms can be very ornate and beautiful.� Lunch for today was not very special but very expensive McDonalds.� Miriam and I got a big mac combo and an extra cheese burger and it cost us 14.4 Swiss Franks or $10.93 dollars.� It’s only McDonalds…that’s highway robbery!� We finished the day with Stephen playing the guitar and us singing some folk tunes and then a game of zilch, which Miriam won.
