Hotel Bayerischer Hof Lindenberg

So yeah, continuing form the last post, we drove through Switzerland, and even made a stop in Liechenstein hahaha... We went to Vaduz, the capital, which is literally a quick right turn outside of Switzerland. We hung out for a bit and checke dout a couple ...

After a week in Basel we jumped on the train to visit my Uncle and Aunt (Heinz and Elsa) in Gossau – a small town in the north east of Switzerland. On the way we spent a few hours in Zurich where we just wandered around the city centre, had lunch and sat by the lake. Heinz and Elsa met us at the train station and walked us back to their place – about 2 minutes away! They took us for a drive up to a place which gives a great view over St Gallen ...

Appenzell ist der Hauptort des Halbkantons Appenzell Innerrhoden, liegt ca. 780 m ü.M. und hat knapp 6000 Einwohner. Speziell an Appenzell ist, dass sich der Ort aus 3 politischen Gemeinden zusammensetzt – Appenzell, Schwende und Rüte. Schon im 16. Jahrhundert wurde deshalb die Feuerschaugemeinde gegründet, die sich der gemeindeübergreifenden Aufgaben annimmt, z.B. Feuerwehr, Polizei usw.

High up in the Allgäu Alps, a few miles from the village of Pfronten, we visited a very isolated for over 100 years family-run luxury hotel for dinner. A beautiful wooden structure with a grand view of the Alpe foothills, and cow bells of cows grazing in the pristine alpine highlands could be heard throughout our dinner stay.

The hotel served a gourmet dinner of freshly prepared local and international dining variety.

... at removing the fan altogether, so it didn't break up in the engine compartment, it was decided to re-try the original fix.
While the boys were getting their hands dirty, Charlotte & I used the last of the light to get a few more shots. We were lucky that the 'Man in a Tie' made an appearance and was happy to pose for a photo for the bingo card! And the shop in the garage revealed some more goodies for photos, too!

Once fixed again, we needed ...

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.

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 ...

... weren't too interested so they took Lincoln (who couldn't go with us) and we went to have a look. It was a rewarding visit. It is amazing to think how long ago some of those books and transcripts were written, and how well cared for they must be to remain in excellent condition. The library itself is breathtaking, with leather bound books lining the shelves, large windows (no doubt filtered), elaborate woodwork and staircases, and a muraled ceiling ...

... the top. The farmer showed us around and let us ride on his tractor with him. It is a very big property. We watched the farmer milk the cows and got some cheap milk (from the cows fresh). It tastes much creamier and nicer. Went for a drive and then went to sleep.

... gorgeous and the views of it and from it are breathtaking.



After our tour we drove to Kempten and stayed at the Peterhof downtown. This was our first room with a tv...all German stations, of course!
