Aug 12, Sun: Liechtenstein, Zurich

Caught the 9am train out of Scuols back to Zurich.

• Local train from Klosters out to Landquart for the main train.
• Don't need to be in Zurich until evening.
• Decided to stop in Sargons (about 30 minutes) for an additional side trip. Caught a local bus and took a 30 minute ride into Liectenstein. Their main town is Vaduz, and I spent several hours here.



• They were having an outdoor sand-lot volleyball tournment which was fun to watch.



• Then stopped at a local outdoor cafe, had some snacks, and spent an hour reading Bowerman, The Men of Oregon. I've been working on this book the whole trip. If you have any interest in track and field, then this book is a must.
• Several little shops selling local goods (many wood and glass creations.



• Left on bus around 3pm, back to the train, and also stopped shortly in St. Gallen. Called a friend who wasn't home so hopped back on the train and arrived in Zurich by 5pm.

Decided to walk about a mile from the Hotel to a little suburb that was primarily Albanian.

• Stopped at one cafe and the owner sat down with me and we had a great visit. He told me about this community and how it formed back when the Serbs were viciously attacking and wiping out their people. Over 200,000 escaped the tragedies and ended up in this little part of Zurich.
• He proceeded to thank me over and over for Bill Clinton who is a hero in their country. He is given the credit for assembling the worldwide forces to come in and stop the Serbs and bring peace back into their region.

Yet another wonderful experience and great ending to a great trip.

Fly out at 7am tomorrow morning.
