Hotel Streiff Arosa

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 ...

We continued on the roadbook without too much of a problem, driving through some really pretty towns and villages. We stopped at a post office, to get stamps, just in case the postcard shops didn't sell them. The change we got in Liechtenstein came in handy here! The route took us into a small town which had a Subaru dealer, so we stopped for a few bingo card photos. As we drove away from there, we saw a ...

... found a spot. Touris tat and postcards were the first stop. Luckily the little kiosk took Euros - we hadn't thought of that! But he didn't sell stamps, and directed us towards the post office. They took Euro notes, but gave change in Swiss francs, which seemed a bit odd. Anyway, no choice, so the cards got posted. At ast we were back on track.<br>The way back to the car park ...

... 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 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.

... speak in German with Bianca and Carmen translating for me). He has an absolutely fascinating family history and is very well versed in history, art and culture. He loves to talk about anything and everything. He was very interested in our visit to Turkey and we had many discussions about the Ottomans and Hapsburg empires. He also is quite the coffee connoisseur (as they drink more coffee in this household than I've ever seen in my life) and we were happy ...

... in, I came to a halt. Just as I was looking with scorn upon the mountain goats far beneath me, I rounded a corner and discovered snowfall covering my path. Not normally a problem, this was something different. Although it only covered the path for about 15 metres, and I could frustratingly see the path on the other side, it was the type of snow that I am quite wary of walking across - too crumbly to be sure of my footing, and lying at an angle of about 50° with ...

... 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 ...

... go all out for desserts, and it shows&#8230;but they also walk a lot, so they can eat like this. When we returned from dinner, it was quite late and we have an early start on Monday... we are off for Lucerne. (Before I forget, the music during dinner was absolutely wonderful. Two young fellows were playing local Swiss mountain music on accordions and my feet just couldn&#8217;t stay still. Maggie was the only other one of Our Group who went with us.) We had a great time.<br><br>
