Day 6 saw us in a new country and yes more importantly a new stamp in our passport. We got up in the morning and although we were not really ready to leave Appenzell the clouds were rolling in so we thought it was time to get out of dodge. So off we went to Liechtenstein, which is a small country that borders Switzerland to the east. To get there we needed to take both the trains and then transfer to the bus. Both Shawn and I agree that the trains are easier to sort through than the buses. However, we finally got there. We left our luggage at the train station and headed in for the day. The sun was out and we strolled around this small country and even found the energy to climb the hill to see the palace. This palace is not open to visit as the King and Queen live there. So we wandered up and took a picture of the grounds while the gate was open. The gardener was moving about. After we had seen all the sites it was on to Bern for the night. This is where our weather gods ran out of steam. When we arrived in Bern it was raining quite heavy and we had to find a hotel for a night or two. Lesson number one – don’t try to stay in a the capital during the week, expensive and no real availability. A very nice lady at our first hotel attempted to help us out in finding a hotel for the night. Then it was on to rainy site seeing and an early night to try to find out what was going on the as were having such a hard time finding accommodations in Zurich, Luzern or Bern.
