Holiday Part 3 - Road Trip

We decided to go on a road trip for a few days.  We headed south and passed through Austria and Switzerland to get to Liechtenstein. The scenery along the way was just stunning. While we were in Liechtenstein we saw the castle, enjoyed lunch and even got a stamp in our passports! Sebastian also got his first Kuhglocke (cow bell).


 Vaduz Castle



We left Vaduz and headed north through Switzerland for the Bodensee.  The Bodensee is surrounded by 3 countries - Germany, Switzerland and Austria.  We stayed in one of the small towns along the shore of the Bodensee on the German side. 





We took a day trip by boat to Insel Mainau.  It is called the flower island because the whole island is a botanical garden, with flowers everywhere.










Castle Meersburg

We left the Bodensee and headed north.  We originally were heading for Heidelberg but changed our minds and decided to go to Strasbourg, France instead via the black forest. Strasbourg was absolutely stunning, I loved to just walk around and see all the buildings and watch all the people.  Sebastian was a gem, he was happy all the time and is a very good traveller.


The cathedral was too big to get into one picture
