Vaduz, Liechtenstein

We left Innsbruck and drove towards Switzerland. We actually drove through the tiny country of Liechtenstein, which is only 160 square kilometers with a population of 35,000. It uses the Swiss franc currency and the Swiss police.
Since we only had one afternoon here, we took a small tourist train to drive us around the "hot spots" of the capital of Liechtenstein, Vaduz. There is Vaduz Castle, which houses the prince of Liechtenstein and his family. And a few other important monuments such as the Postage Stamp Museum :)
It was a very hot day, and there were sprinklers and water fountain displays through the pedestrian streets which Maddy (and I) enjoyed immensely. Liechtenstein is a tiny little country but it's neat to say that we were there.
Then we continued on our journey with a beautiful drive to Lucerne, Switzerland.
