Hotel Sportcenter Funf Dorfer Chur

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>

... Obersaxen als Feriendestination, im Sommer zum Wandern, im Winter zum Skifahren. Wir selben verbringen seit Anfang der 70er Jahre vor allem im Winter unsere Wochenenden und Urlaube in Obersaxen. Es gibt unzählige Wanderwege und im Winter rund 120 km Skipisten. Ursprünglich waren es 3 unabhängige Skigebiete. Als erstes vorne das Gebiet um den Piz Mundaun, hinten ...

... 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.

... the length of the mountain range.  It rained the last hour or so.  When we got to Zermatt it was very cloudy and rainy and there was no Matterhorn to be seen!  Drat.<br><br>The station has this really, really neat electric map.  You find your hotel on the list and enter its number on the keypad.  The board which is a map lights up and highlights and enlarges the path to your hotel.  So, we see the hotel is only about 2 blocks away and we walked.  Umbrellas, hats, suitcases and ...

... the pedestrian street. I also stopped for a bite to eat in a small kebab eatery.<br><br>On the bus back to Sargans, I got off at a stop in Balzers so I could check out another castle - the one we passed on the bus journey to Vaduz. This one is also a private one, it turns out, so I couldn't go inside it either. It sits on top of a steep hill wrapped in vineyards. I walked around a bit until another bus came along and headed back to Sargans.

... be favorable to the dollar but now it is almost even at about 95 cents to every Swiss Franc . I was also later reminded by someone of a great quote by Martin Luther King Jr: ""The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict." The next morning we would take a train through the Alps to Zermatt, the small skiing town nestled at the base of the Matterhorn.

... good landscapes.<br><br>The day trip took us out from Chur to Reichenau, Thusis, Soliser, Filisur(1080m), the famous Landwasser Viaduct(130m long and 65m above the river), Berguin(1372m), Pontresina at the foot of the Piz Bernina(4049m), Ospizio Bernina, the highest station of this Rhaetian Railway route at 2253m above sea level. We then passed the Alp Grum station with varying views of the nearby glaciers which 'flow' between Piz Bernina and Piz Palu, as we ...

... star. In the end we drove into that railway hotel and they were kind enough to direct us to the Three Kings or Drei Koenig Hotel a couple of blocks away. I had to leave the car in a private car park whilst we booked in and moved our cases. The hotel was not the best but it was all we could find. Lyn's single room was a hoot. The toilet was at the end of the bed and the shower in a cupboard but it was half our room price. Our room was above a well again and we could hear the ...

... We traveled on some of the windingest roads you can imagine. Just when you thought you&#8217;d reached the valley, you would make a turn and go down some more. The scenery is so spectacular that the group is exceptionally quiet. They have to be awestruck. I know I am. The terrain returning from St. Moritz is very rocky. Wherever there is vegetation, there are cows. What a day! This was the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen. I will never be able to put into words what I ...

8/28/99 Saturday<br><br> Zurich to Davos<br><br>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. <br><br>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 ...
