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 ...

... Feldkirch I got lost. Actually I was just trying to get to McDonald's because the group wanted a bathroom break and the public toilets here were not to our standards. Anyway, I drove past the McDonald's twice - once my fault and once the navigator's - and drove down a pedestrian only section of road before we gave up and continued on our journey out of town and deeper into Austria.

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.

From Bregenz in Austria, we hopped back in the car for the short 45 minute drive to the only absolute monarchy left in Europe: Liechtenstein.

Late night rides are always problematic, killing time waiting before, then trying to function normally the day after. The savings of a night's rent isn't always worth it ...

Hi everybody, As mentioned in the Easter entry, another "Flat Stanley", this one named Flat Matt, has come into our lives. Matt is lucky in that we are doing a lot of traveling right now, so he's getting to see a lot. After going with us to England for Easter he went with Chris and another friend, David, to the Basel watch show in Switzerland. On the way ...

... to get all that sorted, and after the mighty rain storm fell, i took a bike ride around the country, literally, along the side of the rhine. unfortunately things took a turn for the bad in the evening. possibly dehydrated from the long hike and maybe my water bottle is contaminated with something funky, i got sick. not good sick either. slightly recovered in the morning and headed off to buchs for the journey to salzburg...
