Hotel Danis Lenzerheide

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.

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!

... Höfen / Weilern. Es hat nur etwas mehr als 800 Einwohner, aber 1400 Ferienwohnungen und Ferienlager. Noch heute gibt es 10 Kapellen und die grosse Kirche im Hauptort Meierhof. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Talseite liegt Waldensburg, Andiast, Brigels und Panix. Über den Panixerpass oder den Kistenpass (Kistenstöckli) gelangt man ins Glarnerland.

Vor allem Familien ...

... we had caught up on news, we both set off in different directions, we were heading for Italy, and the Stelvio Pass.

Although we stll had the little job of Swiss postcards. We saw a little shop as we turned a corner, and popped in there. We had the rest of the Swiss francs, but we were 20 cents short, the lady in the shop was really kind, and let us off!! How nice the Swiss are!

... me that it was very painful. 'Well that doesn't matter' I replied, 'They are for him!!' Of course the other half of the team was blissfully unaware of his forthcoming pain until the cuffs were snapped on, and the policeman took a good grip on the handcuffs ready for the photo!!
What a coup, we could hardly believe it.

So out of Vaduz, and travelling on to Switzerland.

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 ...

... get on the bus I watched southern Liechtenstein roll past on the way to Vaduz. Cute villages with quaint houses, cows grazing in green pastures, and a castle sitting on a high hill surrounded by vineyards.

Vaduz is a very nice city. The royal residence, a castle of course, sits on a high cliff directly above the city centre. The main street is a pedestrian street with shops and restaurants, museums, the tourist office, the ...

... to the ground to keep distance from him. When I was opening the door to the entrance, the Dyed Hair Guy kicked my bag. Well, check out the damage of my PC frame. I brought it to the Aarau Stadt Polize, and the officer at the counter, Mr. W, said that I should visit the Kanton Polizei instead. If Kanton police is working for covert operation on me, then visiting their office would be a worst ...

... road traffic, especially if they park in the wrong place !!! It then climbs quite steeply up through the gorge and then beside the roadway and above the torrent. As it nears the resort it passes over the oldest concrete bridge in Switzerland, if not Europe. Entering the small town and terminating beside the lake out of which flows the previously described river.
In summer there are a few restaurants and shops available but the town seems fairly ...

... and experienced today. I know I said the same thing about Austria, and it is still true, but this was a whole different level of experience.

After we returned to Davos, we took a short walk and then we had dinner at a very nice little bistro about a block from the hotel. What a nice, quiet way to cap off a wonderful day. It will be an early night tonight. The bags have to be in the hallway by 6:30 am, with breakfast at 6:45 am. We will transfer to Germany (via Austria) tomorrow.

Zurich to Davos

We arrived in Davos (the Hotel Europe, a 4 star hotel) at 12:37 pm. Davos is much bigger than I had expected. It looks like it would be easy to get lost, but the view is spectacular.

We had a get together dinner at 6 p.m. On our way down to dinner, we heard someone knocking on their door from the inside. Sure enough, it was Shirley. Seems that their door lock was stuck and they couldn't get out. We had to get the hotel ...
