Ever since moving abroad, I set the goal to visit every European country by the end of my two year rotation. With 8 already visited prior to the rotation, it seemed like a challenging, but accomplishable goal.
So given that everything shuts down in Zurich on Sundays and with nothing better to do, I proposed a lunch date to Vaduz, Lichtenstein with my friend Luke. And much to my delight he thought the idea was even more fantastic than I did. We agreed on Friday to go the following Sunday.
Luke has a car so we decided to drive instead of taking the train to the Lichtenstein bus (we should have had some idea about the size of the country given there is no train station in the entire country). 30 minutes and 5 wrong turns after being picked up we found our way to the highway and were on our way there.
“There” turned out to be a one town country with a small pedestrian street, three restaurants and a museum; plus a castle on the hill and alleged wine tasting (although we didn’t find out about the wine tasting until a week after the voyage). The town/capital/country was approximately the size of Dunsmuir, CA. For those who don’t know where that is…that summarizes how small Liechtenstein is. After approximately 15 minutes (the amount of time it took to walk through town) we had officially seen everything. Therefore to complete the trip, we sat down to a beautiful traditional lunch of pizza and hamburgers. We left shortly after lunch, mission accomplished.
