Hotel Sylva Schaan

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>

... Höfen / Weilern. Es hat nur etwas mehr als 800 Einwohner, aber 1400 Ferienwohnungen und Ferienlager. Noch heute gibt es 10 Kapellen und die grosse Kirche im Hauptort Meierhof. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Talseite liegt Waldensburg, Andiast, Brigels und Panix. Über den Panixerpass oder den Kistenpass (Kistenstöckli) gelangt man ins Glarnerland.<br><br>Vor allem Familien ...

... main city) and the surrounding area, and then walked around the town.<br><br>The next day we went into St Gallen with Elsa. We walked around the old city, and visited their beautiful church and main shopping centres. In the eve Heinz cooked my favorite dinner ever &#8211; Roesti!! And we watched 'Inspector Rex'.<br><br>On Friday Elsa took us to a mountain up a gondola, and we went for a walk. Unfortunately the weather wasn&#8217;t the best &#8211; very ...

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.<br><br>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 ...

... weren't too interested so they took Lincoln (who couldn't go with us) and we went to have a look. It was a rewarding visit. It is amazing to think how long ago some of those books and transcripts were written, and how well cared for they must be to remain in excellent condition. The library itself is breathtaking, with leather bound books lining the shelves, large windows (no doubt filtered), elaborate woodwork and staircases, and a muraled ceiling ...

... 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.

... la gare, encore étonné de ne pas recevoir de pluie sur moi ; en me rendant à l'arrêt, je remarque que les montagnes environnantes ont un peu de neige sur le sommet. Mignon, me dis-je. Côté montagnes, je ne suis pourtant pas au bout de mes surprises, loin de là. Après avoir quitté l'Autriche peu avant 10 heures, je remarque cette fois que nous longeons, au loin là-bas, les Alpes bavaroises du côté allemand. Ah, c'est mignon aussi, me dis-je. Mais une fois repassé du côté autrichien en ...

... the last of our Swiss franks on some traditional Swiss cakes, not realising that Liechtenstein also uses Swiss franks. We pulled into Vaduz, the capital, and discovering that the youth hostel had paid internet at 12Francs per hour, we enquired once again at the Information Centre about hotels with free wireless internet. The guy looked at me blankly as if wireless had not yet reached his tiny country. We wandered down the main street which seemed to be fuller than usual with ...

... I am still tired! I didn&#8217;t want to drag my butt out of bed or out of the shower, once I got in. This jet lag really has me whupped. Finally, we struggled down to breakfast around 7:30 am. Breakfast was pretty much the same here as we had in Austria...cold cuts, cheeses, rolls, jams, breads, yogurt, and cereal. After breakfast, we went back up to the room to get ready for our walk and while we were up there, we could hear the church bells ringing through the valley ...
