Schloss Vaduz, Vaduz, Liechtenstein

Where Hans-Adam II, Prince of Liechtenstein, can be seen playing with his grandchildren
I loved Liechtenstein.
I don't know what it was exactly but the tiny principality had a little something
that just felt good about it. And the locals were unbelievably nice
too. We were treated like royalty and gazed at every step we took. I believe
we might have stood out a little bit. After all, when the whole country bears
less than 35,000 people, how many can there be in the capital? Of course visitors
will stand out! We nonetheless drove around a bit, stopped for some shopping
and lunch and snapped a few pictures. Our favorite part? Driving all the
way to the top of the castle where the Prince lives and discover that it's
all wide open, without restrictions, and that the kids are out playing soccer
with their grandfather Prince. What a sight. I surrendered to the place and
thought to myself that I could very well go back there and enjoy that rocky
forests a bit more later. In the meanwhile, I think we shall never forget
the majestic entrance to Fürstentum Liechtenstein through Switzerland:
a straight drive toward the castle nestled in the mountains! Another breathtaking
sight.
