Wow... Liechtenstein is small... really small... like only 26km in length by 6km in width...
Literally, you only need to spend a few days here and you can traverse the whole country...
Liechtenstein has one of the oldest monarchies in Europe... while small, the country has a certain air of regalness about it... The Royal family live in a castle overlooking the main town Vaduz...
The odd thing though is that everthing... buildings, homes, streets etc... all look reasonably new... certainly nothing that looks like it has been there for hundreds of years... where are all the historical old buildings and homes, the cobbled streets... how curious...
With a whopping population of just 35,000... people enjoy a fairly high standard of living... its clean, its quiet, its nice...
Bus system is excellent... and the borders are very close... so if your heart desires, you can be in Switzerland or Austria for lunch in around 20 minutes... perfect...
Definately worth popping into if you have the time... I liked it alot... and the Liechtensteiners are a friendly lot...
LIECHTENSTEIN
A miniature princely castle... Austria next... Nic x

Hello
I am starting to wonder if you have eaten since you reached these more expensive countries. Haven't seen many meals lately.... xxxT
