day one & day two

Switzerland. Lichtenstein. Austria.
remember how before i said i had more posts to post that infact i wasn't done with my switzerland blog? well here is one of those i needed to post{which is a 3 post event}.

my dad came to visit! well he came for a business trip that just happened to be while i was there. {he goes about every year to switzerland for a meeting, but he usually goes in the fall.} he spent a few days at his work meetings in burgdorf switzerland so when he was done, i took a train to him in burgdorf. when i arrived, we went on a walk around the village. then we went to dinner with two of his bosses and a co-worker. that was enjoyable. we went to a chinese restaurant and some how ended up ordering waaay too much food. the lady taking our order understood us wrong and ordered us double of what we asked. luckily, dad's company paid for it. look at all that yummy chinese down below. the next day, we took the train with those same people to the zurich airport and while they flew back to the US we rented a car. we drove to my town, Wadenswil where he met the family i had been working with. then we went and bought food for our big day and then made our way to pick up Jachen. Jachen came with us to Lichtenstein and Austria.


i showed my dad the church building i went to when going to church with the family




Lichtenstein.
the castle in Lichtenstein is still lived in by a royal family. they own the country, the small country of Lichtenstein. we walked around the town down below the castle then found our way up to the grounds as well.



Austria.
we pretty much just drove around in Austria. we stopped once for a bathroom. typical.

Switzerland.
we decided to head back to switzerland and jachen showed us a place on the water we could go to eat dinner. we ate our lunch leftovers on water that sat in between us and Germany.

there Germany is across the water.

hey jachen, whatcha looking at?
we returned Jachen to his home, then dad came back to where i lived and he slept the night there with me on a big blow up mattress in my room. the next day was our journey to France and Germany. read the next posts to find out about those trips!
