What's Up Al ? 遊記隨筆 生活點滴

Having driven for an hour or so westward from Innsbruck, the scenery became even more mountainous and as the roads twisted and turned, we entered the Princedom of Liechtenstein without so much fanfare than a lonely un-manned boarder station with a low-key metallic board indicating in elegant letters - Liechtenstein. Yes, we had reached one of the smallest countries in the world, with a population of less than 40,000 spread across an area of 13 km by 13 km, almost a third of the size of Singapore or Phuket ! So, we drove slowly (!) to take a good look at this country, passing through the train and bus stations of Vaduz, the capital and having found a free (Sunday) space in the Vaduz Parkplatz, we spent a good 2 hours wandering around Vaduz, ogling at the camera-clicking tourists, observing the lack of local people apart from the shop keepers and cafe waitresses and admired the Gutenberg Castle atop a steep hill at a distance and at last we found a vacant parking lot to indulge in a picnic lunch. Memorable country yet nothing much to remember, so on we drove.
