Elmhurst We were on the road from Lucerne, Switzerland, by 9:30 AM. We tried to avoid the motor ways and expressways to reach our intended destination: Vaduz Liechtenstein, the capitol of that tiny country of only 61 square miles. High on a cliff overlooking town is the residence of the Royal Family. Unfortunately, we weren’t invited for tea or dinner to catch the view!
Alaşehir Our ride across a small two lane road took us through stunning countryside, filled with both traditional chalets and architecture and more modern structures as well. The verdant, green fields were filled with cows, many munching grass adjacent to the roadway. Cows, here, wear bells and the tinkling of the bells was clearly audible inside the car. We passed a few, very few vineyards on the lower south-facing slopes. The water in the lakes was clear, clean, and the blue-green of the Caribbean Sea. Our little car was surrounded on all sides by peaks stretching up into blue skies and the clouds.
Fabulous scenery and well worth the ride up and back the switchbacks!
We have finally uploaded the side shows so that you may go back to the post and see the raw unedited photos. (10/16/2013)
