Tom's Rabluta Chur

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>

... Gebiet Obersaxen mit dem Stein und dem Piz Sezner und dazu von der Südseite her aus dem Val Lumnezia (Lugnez) das Gebiet um den Hitzeggen. Heute sind die 3 Skigebiete miteinander verbunden, obwohl das Lugnez politisch nicht zu Obersaxen gehört. <br><br>Geschichte<br><br>Vor den Walsern war es jedoch bereits durch die Romanen besiedelt. Im Testament des Bischofs Tello ...

... 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.

Work has been quite slow lately so since I had nothing better to do today, I took a train to Sargans, Switzerland, and then waited for a bus to Vaduz, Liechtenstein. I missed the bus that left 4 minutes after I arrived. By missed, I mean I couldn't find it until I saw it driving past me. And there are only two or three bus stands in Sargans at the train station, so it was completely due to a lack of intelligence on my part.<br><br>Once I ...

... dorm room- you could imagine how my mood turned from a bit cranky, to super annoyed. Oh well, not much I could do, and other than that, and the insects I had as bed mates, it could have been worse... at least the showers had hot water. I ended up meeting Julia from St. Gallan, and she asked me if I wanted to watch the football game between Germany and Turkey at the stadium that night- which I did! The game was amazing, and both teams ...

... you really want to follow this Blog search for the Swiss Rail map which shows the full extent of rail, ferry, cablecar, fenicular transport system all of which can be used if you avail yourself of a Swiss Pass. Most Swiss Holidays agents supply a '50% off' card without extra charge, or a full Pass at extra expense. Swiss Nationals are very fortunate in having an arrangement where for the cost of about SFR2000 they get an annual Go Anyhwhere Anytime Ticket!!! <br>

... his mark on the district by designing and constructing Kerri Kerri's public loo. ] I bought a book on his works and was amazed at how busy he had been with all his projects...mostly in Europe. We bought postcards, a cup of coffee and a cake each. St Gallen was our next destination where we were determined to find the Benedictine Abbey and its world famous library. But we could not find it. We drove up and around that town trying to track it down. How hard could it be we thought ...

... The Glacier Express runs from St. Moritz (jet set in Southeast Switzerland) to Zermatt (home of the Matterhorn) in both directions. A full trip takes 7.5 hours, so the journey is a trip in itself. Most tourists engaging the railway book hotels in both termini and do the full ride. I however would not find it practical to journey all the way down to either end as I was ultimately going to Interlaken. So, I settled for a ...

... What a view! I wish I could afford to live here. As it is, I&#8217;m sure the only reason we came is because it&#8217;s the 'off&#8217; season.<br><br>Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, so you know just how expensive it must be to live in St. Moritz. We took a little stroll through town before we had lunch and after lunch we did a bit more sightseeing, while the Others (Shirley &amp; company) went shopping. As in Lucerne, you find a new and big (or ...

... apparently has a stronger constitution than I do!) Once I was on the path winding up the mountain though, I was fine. Spectacular view from up here, looking down on the valley. Took what I believe to be some good camera shots, I just hope that they come out so that I can share this experience with the others. On our way back down to town, there was a little church along the trail, so we decided to stop in and check it out. We discovered that it was a Catholic church, and ...
