Anlässlich der Renovation von 1963–65 erhielt die Kapelle Glasgemälde von Ferdinand Gehr, einem in der Schweiz, vor allem im Rheintal sehr bekannten Maler.

... both up the hills and down them!! They had just made it through the Flueelapass, but they had lost brakes, and so the vehicle was left on the road and they put their stuff in another vehicle to get to the nearby campsite. A short night later, they eventually got back to their vehicle, and found that it was OK to drive. Gaz had removed the bonnet, to allow the engine to cool more easily.

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 ...

... adjacent to the church we returned to the station to await the return to Chur. This trip via the Engadine Valley and the resort of St Mortitz(1775m), where we had time enough to walk beside the lake which doubles as a polo-on-ice field during winter months. The return to Chur via Filisur and the Landwasser Viaduct equally as impressive as the climb up.

We have spent the night in Chur pronounced Koor, which is why when we went to buy the train ticket, she didn´t know where we meant. Switzerland is very pretty, the sawtooth mountains of the Alps are incredable, sorry about my spelling, but spell check for english doesn´t work on a german speaking computer. We went out for dinner last ...

Llegué a Suiza en un nocturno desde París, di una vuelta por Zurich otra vez y me fui de aventón a Chür donde me encontre con Berenice, una amiga de la secundaria en Morelia. Pasé poco tiempo pero fue bueno. Fuimos a un bar y así. El paisaje era genial. Las montañas coronadas de nieve y sus faldas multicolores en rojo, amarillo y verde por el cambio de estación.
