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>

... 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 ...

... 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.

... can't take photos in the library and I can describe in words the beauty of the library sufficiently. Let's just say if you have the chance, go take a look.<br><br>It was time for food so we found a little cafe and had a bite to eat before tracking down my parents again. They were hungry because they had been waiting for us before they ate (oops!) so we returned to the same cafe and they had a quick meal before we returned to the car. Next stop: Austria!

... get on the bus I watched southern Liechtenstein roll past on the way to Vaduz. Cute villages with quaint houses, cows grazing in green pastures, and a castle sitting on a high hill surrounded by vineyards.<br><br>Vaduz is a very nice city. The royal residence, a castle of course, sits on a high cliff directly above the city centre. The main street is a pedestrian street with shops and restaurants, museums, the tourist office, the ...

... Does he know something I don't? Maybe she IS working, but... the bus station? The friend she's waiting for soon shows up and sits down, so that should quell the rumors, but Vitalis man just gets up and moves a few steps away, lurking watching waiting. I've never seen anything like it, like something straight out of the Discovery Channel. The closest thing I've ever seen in real life was when Nonay was in heat ...

Hello everyone, A quick note to say that we spent a day walking (yes, walking) around the tiny country of Liechtenstein. It was absolutely stunning. We walked along the Rhine River from Schaan to Vaduz, with tall mountains all around us, from rolling green lower mountains, to semi-tall heights with smatterings of snow, then mammoth peaks covered in the white stuff. Unbelievable. It took us about four hours to thoroughly explore the entire country. No joke. Take care! Wayne

... else there. They have some weird painted cow figures though, and giant stamps put on the pavement. It's slightly scary to be in a nation where stamps are taken so seriously. I think I might have grievously offended one shop person when she asked me if I'd like some and I said no. They use the Swiss Frank there, and if it was next to any country other than Switzerland, I think they just would have invaded and made them a strange provincial town.

... she accompanied me...). (BevNote: I&#8217;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 &#8230;she HAD to be around 90&#8230;and SHE didn&#8217;t have to stop and rest, just put one foot in front of the other and marched up the mountain&#8230 ...

... as we called them then, 'continental quilts'! My brothers and I thought that they were fantastic (I'm having a flashback about how much I hated making a bed with sheets, blankets and an eiderdown) and were very excited when we got some of our own when we got back to Blighty. Sadly of course, the early 80s English version was synthetic and almost stiff enough to stand up on one end.... Considering that we spent a fortnight there, my memories are somewhat shaky - but ...
