Hotel Bad Schachen - A Summit Hotel Lindau

We were planning to go to Liechtenstein but thought we may as well as it was sort of on our way. It's the worlds 6 smallest country so it would have been rude not to go..haha.<br><br>We didn't drive to the main town but to another.. where really there wasn't anything. I did get a photo with the tourist sign though. Had to somehow prove I'd been there!<br>

... quick sites and then jumped back to Switzerland, crossed through Austria for an hour or so, and bam, were back in Germany, hehe....<br><br>Now I'm at Sebastian's brother's house, where we will go to sleep soon and visit München tomorrow...<br><br>abrazos!<br>

... 8211; so the views weren&#8217;t really there. But it was nice to be in the mountains! I can&#8217;t remember the name of the mountain we were on, but it has caves you can walk through, and a little church on the side of the mountain using one of the caves, pretty cool! We came back down on the gondola and ate sandwiches while watching the cows with their bells.. Very relaxing. Then on the way home we stopped by an Appenzeller cheese factory where ...

Our third stop of the day was our first in Austria. Now I was entering undiscovered lands! Feldkirch is right on the Switzerland border. The old town centre is surrounded by towers, and a castle sits on a hill above.<br><br>We explored Feldkirch and a few of its towers. The old town is quite charming with its colorful buildings, trickling fountains, and small shops. When we tried to ...

Our next stop was St Gallen, home of a beautiful abbey with a medieval library and neighbouring by a charming Old Town. We walked around the abbey exterior before everyone went inside, with the exception of Lincoln and I. I have been here before and know it is a very ornate baroque design inside.<br><br>Next, we walked to the abbey library which houses the largest medieval collection of books in the world, basically. There was an admission to go in and my ...

We arrived Lindau just about lunchtime. The place was brimming with people all, seemingly queueing for sandwiches or whatever! The sun was out and we walked around the old streets gazing at the magnificently decorated walls of the houses and shops. Especially the Rathaus in its fantastic decorated ...

... re. Nous avons décidé de demeurer 3 soirs ici car c'est calme, beau et ensoleillé pour une des premières fois du voyage. Nous recommandons fortement cette petite auberge tenu par des propriétaires en or quisont très près de leurs clients. De cette ville, vous pouvez utiliser un traversier vers l'Autriche ou la Suisse. La portion historique ...

... place knights of old once stood. Meersburg Castle dates back to 628 when Dagobert I, the Frankish king, built a military tower on granite overlooking Lake Constance. Features were added to the castle over the years, including the main tower which dates from 1509. We leave tomorrow morning to go to Zurich. I can't believe it is our last stop, and then we fly home! This has been great. More when I can! Ciao

... Gottlieben, Switzerland. One of Rick's business associates had made reservations for us at the Hotel Drachenburg. Quite a nice place! Our room seemed very French with a bidet and a chaise lounge. We had lunch there and had dinner with Helmut. I don't have the name of the restaurant, but we had possibly the best poached salmon ever!!

<br>Today we drove up into the mountains to see the fairy tale castle, Neuschwanstein. This is another of Ludwig's castles, this one unfinished, and served as the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. It ...
