Liechtenstein
Halo from Liechtenstein

Well Bern was pretty uneventful. It was a lovely city with terraced bulidings and cobbled streets. There wasn’t a pile to see there but we were able to take in the city fron the tower of the Gothic Münster catherdral.
We made our way to Luzern the next day to check out the chapel bridge and old town wall. After spending the morning treking up and down tower steps we made our way to trendy Zürich. Our hotel was part of a chain with an adjacent resturant and night club but Susan wasn’t to keen to see me make a fool of myself Salsa dancing. Here we visited Frumünster which was a catherdal with some stained glass windows.
Today we have been in St Gallen looking at its amazing siftsbibliothek (abbey library). We also stubbled across a few cheap swiss cakes which we demolished on the way to Vaduz in Liechtenstien.
There are only about 5300 people in this small landlocked country. There seems to be a lot of wealth here though. May have something to do with the £50 billon in the bank…
Its a very nice place surrounded by mountains and we even went on the cheesey town train ride.
Tomorrow is of to Austria.
