25/08/08 - Little Liechtenstein.

After goodbyes the Annj and Bartli - Dankeshen (thank you very much),
we were off down the valley headed for Liechtenstein. Why??? (as Annj
and Bartli asked) - just because its a country of its own. Anyway,
what other capital city can you visit where finding you way to the
centre and getting park is so so easy!! That capital city is Vaduz -
population 5,000. On population, the country has 35,000 people, but
70,000 registered companies. Liechtenstein being something of a tax
haven.

Apart from watching a music video being filmed (the singer wasn't even
singing!!), and a walk up to the castle of Liechtenstein's royal
family (not open to the public) - there wasn't too much more to this
town. Nonetheless we took a quiet stroll about, brought our token
magnet and stocked up on groceries before heading back to Switzerland
and southwest, past Annj and Bartli's valley and on to Sedrun. We'd
just thought about parking for the night, when we came across another
campervan friendly place with fine views down the valley to boot :-)
