Wrote and read after breakfast until lunch. Then set out toward Liechtenstein. The sky was covered with dark clouds this morning, the first since Vienna. It started raining just before arriving in this tiny country. Across the Rhine river in a single-lane wooden covered bridge and I was in the mountain principality. Drove through Vaduz and partway up to Triesenburg. The sun poked its head out of the thick rain clouds ever so often. Cycled through Balzers on the South end. AFter dinner I went back up to the Youth Hostel to check for mail. Found none but talked with two English boys and an American cyclist from Pennsylvania. We're going to meet in Kandersteg on the 8th for some mountain climbing. Wrote and read. Retired late.[Liechtenstein is situated in the Upper Rhine valley of the European Alps. The entire western border of Liechtenstein is formed by the river. Measured north to south, the country is only about 24 km (15 mi) long. In its eastern portion, Liechtenstein rises to higher altitudes; its highest point, the Grauspitz, is 2,599 m (8,527 ft)]
