Switzerland Day 2

26/09/2010
We woke up to find a little bit of rain around. Hannes decided that the place with the best weather today would be the north-east which contains a region called St Gallen. The drive there was very pretty and I saw some valleys with cute houses and some mountains with snow on them. After a while we reached a cable-car which could take us to the top of a mountain, Säntis... but the view from the top was only going to be of clouds so we decided that it would be a better idea to visit another country - Liechtenstein.

We had lunch at a nice restuarant in Liechtenstein and bought my nanna a sovenier cloth patch, took a photo of the castle that overlooks the town and then headed back to Switzerland. On the way back we could see mountains in Austria and we also saw Germany!

On the way back we visited Hannes' daughter Liza (she is 11). I had a lot of fun playing with her. She speaks very good English. She also speaks German, Swiss German and Ukranian (that is where her mum is from)!
Finally it was back to the house again for dinner and early to bed because we had to leave the house early to get on the train the next day.
