... 8211; so the views weren’t really there. But it was nice to be in the mountains! I can’t remember the name of the mountain we were on, but it has caves you can walk through, and a little church on the side of the mountain using one of the caves, pretty cool! We came back down on the gondola and ate sandwiches while watching the cows with their bells.. Very relaxing. Then on the way home we stopped by an Appenzeller cheese factory where ...

... 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.

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!

... be different. There is more diversity than might be immediately apparent, divergences in time and space amongst people with a common history, up to a point. Slovenia and Croatia could fit right into Western Europe without missing a beat while Serbia struggles to throw off its past, Bosnia struggles to cling to its own, and Albania struggles to pull itself together after dodging bullets for most of the last two ...

... I laughed when I found out she was showing us a map of the WHOLE COUNTRY and not just the city we were in. Leichtenstien and their people know its a small country and they pride themselves on it...just like Canadians pride themselves on being BEER drinkers!!! There is a Prince of Leichtenstein (still active) so we walked up to his castle....but he wouldn't let us in for tea! (or beer) We got our passports stamped with the OFFICIAL ...

... so far. The train ride to Liechtenstein was nice, except I left my notebook behind. It not only had all my notes in it, it also had about 10 post cards that needed to be stamped and sent. Maybe some good Samaritan will find my stock of written addressed postcards and pay to put them in the mail. But there's a greater chance of Switzerland entering the Iraq war. From the Swiss town of Sargans, I took a bus to the Liechtenstein capital of Vaduz ...

... a large canal used for shipping barges. The bike path in that area is shaded by trees and runs right along the canal. In Amsterdam Flat Matt also noticed the old Dutch canal houses, went to the market with us to buy cheese, flowers and veggies, and got to see our favorite Amsterdam windmill. All in all, not a bad visit! Enjoy the pics! Chris and Melanie

... sandwiches from a nearby bakery for lunch then took some pictures of Vaduz city. Next we got the Liechtenstein stamps in our passports for 2CHF each before starting the climb to Vaduz Castle which overlooked the city. The climb was very steep in parts and tiring but worth the effort for the spectacular views over Vaduz and the surrounding mountains. Walked back down to the city and went to the post office to get some stamps for the ...
