mar 4 ~ liechtenstein ~ part 1

hihi... sorry all for not posting earlier... its been a long week so far.. and its not over yet... somehow this week is dragging... probably cuz of a pin-up/crit on friday... and.. we're not really ready... (when r we ever ready?)

anyways... back track a bit...to last weekend... i had an extra day left on my pass and decided to head out alone... to where?... liechtenstein

whats this?... its the 6th smallest country in the world... between switzerland and austria... hardly visible on a map... but its there.. and i went to see it... one day trip...

so.. head out on early train... bern>zurich>sargans.... in sargans.. got on the 'liechy' yellow buses... and headed to >vaduz!!! (capital city)
i got off the bus at the central stop.. and.. was lost!! (the city was desserted... where was everyone?.. anyways... i just started walking around... and... :

found the sun rising.. haha.. (no.. eventually i found my way... its a small place.. ... i was just a little dis-oriented... cuz the city was so dead... but.. soon i found ppl!!! and my sites)
vaduz castle....
a nice hike up... but i did it!!!
good view from the top!!!
along the hike!
schaan... a town i passed by on the bus to austria....well.. i stopped here on the way back over to swiss... but yes.. i went to austria.. a small town called 'feldkirch' (part 3)... i figure since i had time... why not?
so.. by 5.. i was very tired already... head home... sargans>zurich>bern!!!
bern station...
lovely sunset and bern station...

Did you see any Swiss army around? ? Apparently they were invaded a few days ago.

Maybe that is why there weren't many people around when you first got there. . thinking it was another invasion.
