Fondue in Switzerland

After experiencing Flamenco in Spain, I wanted the students to have a similar taste of Switzerland.  Thanks to a friend's recommendation, we found this fondue restaurant that had live entertainment.  There were two accordion players, who also interjected songs with a 'Swiss horn' (??), tuned cow bells, a saw blade, and some kind of rithym instrument I couldn't quite see from my seat.
We had some confusion about just wanting to each dessert fondue (they wanted us to pay for a full meal fondue since we were there at dinner time, not dessert time), but we worked out an arrangement.
The place was charmingly Swiss, with the wooden chalet structure, and a giant stuffed Saint Bernard.

We got fruit and chocolate!

You can see the horn mounted on the stair railing.  It was so long, it would be hard to play without standing on the stairs.
They let guests give it a try after they finished their song.  Two members of our group, including our tuba player gave it a try.  Fun!

Sunsets each night were quite pretty.
