Three Countries in One Day!

We got to experience three countries in one day today, beginning this morning in the midst of the Alps in Austria, having lunch in Liechtenstein, & ending in Switzerland.
From our overnight hotel we drove (thanks to some incredible driving skills from our driver Dennis) to the nearby city of Innsbruck, which enjoys one of the most incredible settings of any city, ringed by incredible mountains viewable from the heart of the Old Town.
We had time for a little sightseeing & shopping in Innsbruck, then it was onwards, through more mountain scenery, to one of the world's tiniest countries, Liechtenstein.
Sandwiched in-between Austria & Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an historical anomaly.  It's also a great place to stop for lunch.  As well as lunch & souvenir shopping some of the group took time to climb the hill overlooking the capital Vaduz to take in the view & see the castle.
Later in the afternoon we arrived in Lucerne, our final destination.
After checking in to our hotel we walked around the edge of the lake to dinner, & afterwards walked back as the sun set over the famous Kapelbrucke.
