| Breakfast of stone hard
bread, cereal, and apple juice. |
Got blasted by "Let's
Get Loud" on bus. As usual, Val swayed her hands in the air and snapped her fingers to the music. |
| Arrived at Liechtenstein,
where we could purchase a passport stamp for 1.50 Euros.
That's one way of pumping money into the fourth smallest
country. |
|
Got stopped at Austrian
border. Got stamp in passport. Kyle got protested after he
said he'd go through everyone's passport photo.
After looking at Steph's passport, Brad
commented on how Steph was from "Canadia" (versus
Canada).

 |
| After passing some tunnels,
Kyle divided us into quads where we sang "Do Re Mi."
Then Kyle taught us a different version of the
song. |
Dropped off at the river for
some water rafting. <Click on the 'Right Arrow' to find out
more about the rafting excursion.> |
| Saw Olympic ski jump with a
grave down below. |
Walked through park just as
they were preparing for "Chello," some concert or
show. |
| Kyle pointed out a cafe where
he recommended we try "sacher," an overly sweet
chocolate cake. |
 |
 |
Saw the Golden Roof. |
| Saw us see the Golden Roof.
There were several souvenir shops that
sold t-shirts and other paraphernalia advertising how Austria
was not Australia.
|
|
 |
Took this street to Swarovski, supposedly
the cheapest place to buy Swarovski crystals, unless it's
something we really want (the chess set was cheaper
elsewhere).
Could not walk through park
to return to bus. Had to walk around.
For dinner, server poured us
soup from tin cup. Really good creamy vegetable soup. Also got
chicken, potato, vinegar salad, and chocolate mousee.
|
| Explored around the hotel.
Saw Eugene walk up the hill and disappear. |
|
 |
Saw Tyrol River, where we
rafted earlier. |
| Sampled several Schnapps:
blue ice, farmer's, chocolate, raspberry. |
Watched Spiros put hand in
mouth, make in inflation sound, expand stomach, pick it up,
drop it on table, then make deflation sound, and make stomach
shrink. Good trick... or was it? |
| Ability to type at 120 words
per minute useless, because Internet keyboard's letters all
screwed up. |
Heard someone shout "feck"
when he couldn't get in the restroom.
There were fireworks, probably from the
"Chello" celebration.
