Hotel Surpunt Flims

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!

... 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 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!

... us through a shopping centre. There we spotted a couple of uniforms, which just had to be policemen, so we decided to chance our luck. When we explained the mission, they were more then happy to oblige with the photo of the team and one of them. The next question was the 'handcuffs' photo. As I was speaking in German to them, I managed to det the idea over, but the policeman ...

Work has been quite slow lately so since I had nothing better to do today, I took a train to Sargans, Switzerland, and then waited for a bus to Vaduz, Liechtenstein. I missed the bus that left 4 minutes after I arrived. By missed, I mean I couldn't find it until I saw it driving past me. And there are only two or three bus stands in Sargans at the train station, so it was completely due to a lack of intelligence on my part.

Once I ...

... où le check-in n'est pas possible avant 17 heures. Oups ! Il n'est que 15 heures 15. D'accord... de toute façon, je dois trouver de quoi manger (rien bouffé depuis 8 heures ce matin), et aussi trouver des Francs suisses pour pouvoir acheter de quoi manger. Je dépose mon sac à la réception, revient vers ce que l'on peut appeler le centre-ville de Schaan, trouve un guichet automatique - qui me remet un beau billet de 100 FRS, très coloré - et retourne au supermarché que j'ai crois ...

... of the Stockhausen family and the wealth that was the Baronacy of Stockhausen and the salt route exploiters of Medieval Switzerland. Their impressive castle ramparts and towers welcomed us this time but I could imagine that had we been passing by back in the 14th century or so we would have had to be very careful not to wind up in their dungeons, held ransom for all our measly wealth!!!

... 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 ...

We made it to Switzerland. It has been a long few days but we are glad to finally be here. It was a great day to explore Zurich and get some bearings on the place. We will be switching rooms again tomorrow because the place we are in is booked for tomorrow. We went and checked out a few places. We are pleased with our findings. The flight over seemed really long, and I did not get as much sleep as I had hoped. Oh well, I am just grateful to finally be ...

... she accompanied me...). (BevNote: I’m no fool, I know my limits. As a matter of fact, while Paul went on, I sat and reveled in the view from where I was sitting. There were several people riding the updrafts with their 'chutes and it was every enjoyable watching them. A nun came up the mountain as I was watching them …she HAD to be around 90…and SHE didn’t have to stop and rest, just put one foot in front of the other and marched up the mountain… ...
