Liechtenstein and Lucerne

We are in Switzerland and finally have WIFI again. You may notice that about five blogs were uploaded today and that is because the campsite in Munich didn't have WIFI. You also had to pay for hot water, which was really annoying as well as check out toilet paper from Reception. This was not my favorite campsite. 
Enough about Munich, let's talk about Liechtenstein. This small country is basically little Switzerland. They use the Swiss Franc and have the same feel as Switzerland. We stopped in Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. We were able to get a stamp in our passports which was awesome! We had to pay for it because Liechtenstein is part of the Shengen but it was totally worth it. We had lunch here and the city is super cute. My only regret is that we didn't have more time here. There is a Castle at the top of the hill that looked super awesome and I wish we could have gone up there.


After leaving Liechtenstein, we headed to Lucerne in Switzerland where we got to hear a sales pitch about Swiss Watches and Swiss Army Knives. I was really tempted to get some of both but couldn't justify the expense. After that, we did a little sight seeing in Lucerne and saw the Chapel Bridge and the Lion of Lucerne. I particularly liked the lion and was very impressed with all the symbolism.

After leaving Lucerne, we stopped for a photo opportunity over the city. It was a very impressive view and I got a couple photos, but I don't think they do it justice.
Later, we arrived at our campsite. I don't normally take photos of the camp but this is my favorite one so far. The views are stunning within the valley and all the amenities here are top notch. Here is what the site looks like.
Tomorrow, we have our full day in Switzerland. We are in the town of Lauterbrunnen and tomorrow will take a train to the top of Jungfrau Mountain.
