Sibylle was our guide to tour the towns around Interlaken. She arranged warm Swiss quiches for our lunch in the park by the lake. A couple of days later she took us on a private tour of a cheesemaking factory in Gruyere followed by the Maison Cailler chocolate factory– and in between, she treated us to dessert and drinks at the H. R. Giger “Alien Bar” in Gruyere. Thank you, Sibylle, for your attentive guiding.
