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>

After a week in Basel we jumped on the train to visit my Uncle and Aunt (Heinz and Elsa) in Gossau &#8211; 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 &#8211; about 2 minutes away! They took us for a drive up to a place which gives a great view over St Gallen ...

Lichtensteig ist ein mittelalterliches Städtchen im Toggenburg, in der Nähe von Wattwil, mit knapp 2000 Einwohner. Die ältesten Häuser datieren aus der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts. Entlang der Hauptgasse und der Löwengasse gibt es schöne, mittelalterliche Häuserzeilen. <br><br>1863 wurde in Lichtensteig die Toggenburger Bank gegründert. 1912 fusionierte die ...

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.

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.<br><br>Next, we walked to the abbey library which houses the largest medieval collection of books in the world, basically. There was an admission to go in and my ...

... the trail through the forested area, up switchbacks with short stops at lookouts in small clearings to the city below. It didn't take long to reach the castle. It is closed to the public but sits right next to a public road so I walked along the road to get a good look, then continued along the road up a hill a bit further so I could get a nice view.<br><br>I navigated my way back down to the city below and checked out some of the shops ...

Heute ist Montag und mir bleiben noch knapp vier Tage in der Schweiz. Letzte Woche bin ich von Frauenfeld zurück nach Herdern gezogen und hab Teile der Wohnung geputzt, sodass für Yvonne möglichst wenig zu machen bleibt - es wird wohl doch noch ein riesiger Aufwand für sie ;-) Nun geht es daran, noch letzte organisatorische Vorkehrungen zu treffen, zu packen und mich nun wirklich mental auf meine Reise vorzubereiten. Die ...
