Park-Hotel Sonnenhof Vaduz

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>

So, Liechtenstein. the smallest country in Europe. We got stooped at the border, and asked for our passports, and what we were doing there. No problems though, and we were soon on our way.<br><br>We were almost immediately at the Capital city, Vaduz. We were definitely not going to miss the chance to do the postcards etc. So we looked for somewhere to park. We drove around a bit and ...

... 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 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.

... right past without so much as a glance. I know that vacant look, that studied gait, every step a calculated risk, every second a calculated eternity, an algebra with no variables. JUNKIE! He'd lie to his mother to get what he wants, then forget it just as fast. That's why he's hitting on strangers in the bus station. But you know all that. Remember Samuel L. Jackson in Jungle Fever? So I decide to follow the guy into ...

... her a slapper. Eventually we all got on board and headed off though. We stopped in Lichtenstein before lunch. Lichtenstein is the forth smallest country, and has a royal family. You can get postcards of them, all dressed in the traditional royal outfit of ... jeans. Classy. It was their annual celebration day honouring the day their former king abdicated and gave it to his son. A few years ago there was talk of making his role more ...

... a wonderful sound! As we started on our walk, we noticed that the fog was starting to descend on the valley and the temperature was getting cooler. While we walked around town, it was quite obvious that Davos is much more cosmopolitan than Kitzbuhel, not as charming and quaint. This is not to disparage Davos, it&#8217;s just that after being in Kitzbuhel (and falling in love with it), it&#8217;s hard not to make comparisons. The population in Davos is around 30,000.<br><br>As ...

... is this Alice?" The road up to the chalet was a series of vertiginous hairpin bends, which insured me to any kind of fear of heights. As a result, the first thng I want to do in any new place is find the highest thing to climb up and take in the view. Below our chalet were fields of ..erm, some kind of crop, which was being gathered in by a couple in traditional dress. They seemed quite old to me, so they were probably about 40! My brothers and I helped them gather ...

Nestled deep in the Alps is yet another of these wonderful little countries which are of course, holdovers from the feudal systems of the medeval period. Liechtenstein, being a principality, is ruled by a Prince and Princess and their council. There are seven towns in the country with the principal 'city ...
