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>

... 765 gehörten Güter in Supersaxa (Obersaxen) zum Herrenhof Ilanz, was auf eine Besiedlung hinweist. <br><br>Im 12./13.Jahrhundert kamen deutschsprechende Walliser nach Obersaxen. Dabei spielte das Kloster Disentis eine wichtige Rolle. Mehr dazu könnt ihr hier erfahren - http://www.gemeinde-obersaxen.ch/de/gem einde/geschichte/welcome.php?action=sho winfo&amp;info_id=282

... both up the hills and down them!! They had just made it through the Flueelapass, but they had lost brakes, and so the vehicle was left on the road and they put their stuff in another vehicle to get to the nearby campsite. A short night later, they eventually got back to their vehicle, and found that it was OK to drive. Gaz had removed the bonnet, to allow the engine to cool more easily.<br><br>They ...

... me that it was very painful. 'Well that doesn't matter' I replied, 'They are for him!!' Of course the other half of the team was blissfully unaware of his forthcoming pain until the cuffs were snapped on, and the policeman took a good grip on the handcuffs ready for the photo!!<br>What a coup, we could hardly believe it.<br><br>So out of Vaduz, and travelling on to Switzerland.<br>

... 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.

... 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 ...

... of the Third Reich and after he himself took it down, they forced him into retirement and kicked him out of the the military. He was later taken back as they were in need of men and was given command of forces in the regions of the Ukraine where he apparently helped to smuggle the entire family of his translator (who was Jewish) and others to Schruns where his family and friends proceeded to hide and protect them during much of the war until they could ...

... was forced to give up. A bird circled me as I was enjoying a consolatory cup of muesli (my staple for the past week) and mockingly flew straight over the snow and landed on the path on the other side. *******. After indulging in my own version of primal scream therapy, which unfortuantely can't be reproduced here, but was actually extremely satisfying and theraputic to hear reverberating around the mountains, I turned around and began the painful descent back to ...

8/31/99 Tuesday<br><br> Davos to St. MoritzWe woke up this morning to a beautiful, clear, cool morning. We didn't have any large clouds hovering over the mountains like we have had. (NOTE: Today we are off to the winter playground of the rich and famous&#8230;St. Moritz, via the Glacier Express. I am really looking forward to this trip.) We have been on the road for about 1/2 hour and the view is "to die for". We are not taking the motorway, instead the mountain roads that wind through ...

... to help rescue them. <br><br>Well, it&#8217;s about 8:50 p.m. and I&#8217;ve been up for about 33 hours. Tomorrow we have a day off, we&#8217;ll stay in Davos and walk around. I&#8217;m starting to be concerned that Davos is maybe just a little too large for us to tackle, but we&#8217;ll see. <br><br><br><br><br>8/29/99 Sunday<br><br> DavosWe woke up to a sunny, chilly morning. Fog covered the top of the mountains. I woke up at 5:25 am, but fell back to sleep until 6:45 ...
