Vaduz, Liechtenstein and Innsbruck, Austria

Liechtenstein is the 6th smallest country in the world, we had a short stop here strolled around the shops, bite to eat and had our passports stamped for the small price of 1.50 euro (this is optional), unfortunately being slack tourists that we were we took no photo's.

Then on the road again heading for Tyrol to go White Water Rafting, it was so much fun apart from the tour guide telling us to jump in the most COLDEST water ever, I asked him was he joking at first, unfortunately he wasn't, I thought I was going to die (OK maybe that was a slight exaggeration but seriously it was awful), at the end of the rafting they give you a shot of some strong spirit to warm you up, it did the trick but it did not taste so good.

Driving through Austria was a little bit like Germany very steep mountains but instead of constantly driving on long and high overpasses there were very long tunnels, some of them went for ages. It was a very scenic place...



The King and Queen would sit on this balcony and watch what ever was happening in the village...

Swarovski http://www.swarovski.com/Web_AU/en/thestory?origin=landing&lp_bt=THE_STORY&alpt_nav=1, I'm not normally a fan of this store but seeing where it all began was a little exciting, they did have some gorgeous dress rings...
