On our last day in Switzerland, Uncle Kelly, Aunt Michele and I opted to visit the tiny country of Liechtenstein, which sits on the northeastern border of Switzerland. The 4th smallest nation in Europe, Liechtenstein is roughly 62 square miles in size. Just when we thought that we'd seen all of the beautiful spots in a very beautiful country, the trip to the capital city of Vaduz was breathtaking.
Once there, we walked the "Yellow Brick Road" in front of the capital building, taking a few moments to look up the hill to the royal palace. Then we went to the national museum, which was filled with taxidermied samples of every bird, bug and animal native to the country.
The museum also contained interesting artifacts of both the royal family and ordinary citizens, along with information about national exports.
On the way home, we couldn't resist stopping at the Lindt chocolate factory, a short distance from our connecting train to Thun. While we didn't have time to take the tour, we did treat ourselves to some sustenance on the way home!
