Winterthur - Vaduz - Hohenschwangau - Salzburg

 In the end, we've decided to go through Vaduz, we had enough time. There was not too much to see there, only the castle of the Liechtenstein princes (like they say, Principality of Liechtenstein). But well, who has ever seen this country? We are the best, isn't it? At Hohenschwangau we arrived pretty late - we've made a mistake in the GPS setting also, we left it on "avoid toll roads" after we entered Austria and bought the vignette, so we went parallel with the highway about 30km ... till we got it. Unfortunately, these losses of time were payed, we got to the german castles at 3pm and there were no tickets left, all of them were sold. Some americans were there, i believe some asylums for old people, there were only people passed 70 years, i don't even understand how did they went up to the castle. We saw them while they were going down and they were barely walking. So we walked to the castle (20 min. of going up) we ate something at a restaurant there and left for Salzburg.
We've seen some wonderful sights in the Alps, when we left from Winterthur it was foggy :) From time to time we've stopped to make some pictures because it was like in fairytales. It was like visiting Heidi :)
And like this, we've walked today through: Switzerland - Liechtenstein - Austria - Germany - Austria. Nice. Tomorrow we are going home, we already don't remember when we left, and we don't remember what we've seen in the beginning. We are so lucky to have this blog :P
