Day 16 Corseaux-Vaduz-Zurich-Corseaux
Today we decided to head to Liechtenstein, one of the smaller countries on our list. It took us 4 hours to get there, but we made it to Vaduz in Liechtenstein. This is a country between Switzerland and Austria. It still has a Prince and apparently the royal family's net worth is more than the British Royal family! When we got to Vaduz we decided to walk up to the castle that sits above the city. You're not allowed to go in, since the royals still live there, but the hike up to the castle was really nice. We saw a bunch of huge snails along the trail and took our sweet time getting up to the castle. At the top we took some pictures and then headed back down. It was a quick trip to Vaduz, but very pleasant. We then headed to Zurich. We decided to have some supper there before we headed back to Corseaux. Trevor found a cute Swiss restaurant. We ordered fondue and snails! You'd think I wouldn't be interested in the snails after seeing them crawling along the path earlier in the day, but they ended up being okay. They pretty much had the texture of seafood. After our very lovely, but expensive, dinner we headed back to the train station and headed back to Corseaux. We got there around 21:00 and ended up packing and trying to figure out what to do about the French train strike. The next day we would be trying to take a train through France, but we weren't sure if that would be possible. Unfortunately our internet searching was not very successful so we would see the next day how everything would work out.
