Liechtenstein

I spent my Halloween in the 6th smallest country in Europe. Liechtenstein is barely the size of Manhattan. And it is governed by a Prince who lives in a castle on top of a hill. I am writing this on the train from Zurich to Liechtenstein. There are cows grazing outside. Someone told me that cows were given hemp to mellow them out so they can produce more milk. There are old cathedrals on the hilltops and what looks like an old castle with the Liechtenstein flag on top.

The valley is flat and green it looks as though you could see out as far as 100 miles. Then you are directly confronted with snow capped mountains and all its stunning natural beauty. More to come later.
