Road trip pt. 3 - Almost in Paris

We hit the road again. Our next destination was Strasbourg, France, with a stop in a small (very very small) country lying  East of Switzerland, Liechtenstein.

St. Moritz to Strasbourg

It didn’t take us long to get to Vaduz (the capital city) since the whole country is 160.475 km² (61.960sq mi). It was Sunday so nothing was going on and the whole country was sleeping so we took a couple of photos and walked through the city.

Then we hit the road once again.

After couple of hours we arrived to France. I was a bit shocked because when we left Germany and entered France I saw garbage lying everywhere and everything was dirty. What I saw definitively wasn’t what I thought France would be. Luckily Mr. Starlight who was there before warned me that France isn’t the cleanest country in the world and that I shouldn’t be surprised if I would see some garbage lying on a parking lot or something (which I actually did!).

We spent the evening and the whole next day in Strasbourg, which is a wonderful city. I enjoyed it very much and I found out that Strasbourg isn’t as dirty as the suburban area was.

Me in Strasbourg

We took a boat ride through the city and it was magnificent.

For the next two days we were travelling towards Paris. Yes, the famous, romantic Paris.

On the way there we also stopped in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, which is also a very beautiful city (and country) but it was a cloudy day and we didn’t stay long because it started raining.

Me with a soldier in front of the palace in Luxembourg. It's a funny story: When I saw him I immediately wanted to take a picture with him, but he said no and I was really sad about it, and the next time we went by he whispered: "Just one picture". And here it is.

Just before Paris I saw this windmill and quickly snapped a picture out the window while we were driving and it turned out to be one of the best pictures of the whole trip.
