The final part of Day Six was to see the city of Lucerne. From Schiller Hotel, our guide took us on a walk through the iconic Chapel Bridge, across Reuss River.
The day ended with Swiss Folklore Performance and cheese fondue dinner.

The following day, we visited the Lion Monument, which was dedicated to the Swiss mercenaries killed during the French Revolution in Paris.

Probably a touristy thing to ride on the horse carriage around the town

We spent our morning in Gruyères and before lunch, the coach dropped us off in Bern.
Looks like many residents commute by bicycles and I noticed that their buses have "CO2 neutral" labels on them. Perhaps, this is why they have such clean air in the city.
Aare River
The trams run along this shopping street
Another section of Aare River
The Parliament Building of Bern
Houses beside the river
Brown bears in Bären Park, under the bridge and beside the river.

After visiting the cheese factory, our Day Six morning continues in the quiet town of Gruyères.
We were almost reaching Château de Gruyères (Gruyères Castle)
The outside area of the castle building
Sculptures outside the castle building
Hardly anyone on the street

Day Six started with a visit to a cheese factory in Gruyères.
Steps 1 to 4 of cheese making:
Each pan (the big cylindrical steel) contains 4,800 litres of milk
Cheese maturing in the cellar
Each visitor was given a set of cheese samples for tasting at the end of the tour.
