We leave Feldkirch and drive towards Switzerland.
First we pass through the Principality of Liechtenstein, in particular the town of Vaduz just up the road. For this we cross a border, manned by guards but no need to stop. The first thing we notice is a change of currency on petrol station price boards, they use Swiss Francs. The air is thick with mist this morning, so we cannot see the castle on the hill that looks down on us. We stop to walk around for a while, and take in some window shopping, and during this time the mist lifts just enough for us to see the shape of the castle but not in detail unfortunately.
We then move on, towards Lucerne.
