Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and France


After a wonderful 3 days in Austria it was time to move to the next phase of vacation. I had wanted to stay in Zurich but it's not a cheap city, or country for that matter so we decided to visit for the day and then drive on to the cheaper city of Strasbourg, France. Mark had never been to France so it was Mark, Bria and Tirza's first visit. Sahara and I had been on several occasions for shopping trips:)

As we were leaving Austria we starting seeing signs to FL, we didn't know what FL stood for so as we crossed the border into Liechtenstein we were ridiculously excited- a surprise country for our trip! They don't really care for tourists there so there wasn't much to see but we can now say we have been to the country of Liechtenstein!

We stopped in Zurich for lunch and a nice walk around the city. Switzerland in general was beautiful, mountains, lakes, waterfalls- amazing! Zurich was a great city and we just happened to walk right past a Swatch watch store. I couldn't resist... I have wanted a Swatch watch since I was about 12 years old, and I have been looking for a new watch for over a year now. So.... I got a Swatch watch in Switzerland! So FUN!

Then after a nice afternoon in Zurich we made our way up into France for the evening. We enjoyed walking around another pretty city, and the people were much friendlier than we expected:)

Next post: Our return to Kaiserslautern!
