Having been in Switzerland since 2008, I have visited all of Switzerland’s shared borders with multiple trips to Germany, France, Italy, and at least one stop in Vienna to see Austria, so it was about time to stop by one of the smallest European countries with the 3rd highest GDP in the world.

Kay and I took his motorbike for one last ride before he sells it before school and spent the night at Hotel Turna Malbun.  It was one of those weekends that was actually nicer weather at home, but we spent the afternoon and next morning in the sauna and steam room relaxing and reading during the rest periods.

We had an easy dinner and while the staff couldn’t provide GF bread at dinner, they did have gluten free bread ready for me in the morning when I asked for it. I could still order the menu special at dinner and they just modified the soup and dessert to be something I could eat.The next morning we saw a glimpse of nice weather before heading home, where it was cloudy and cold by the time we got back.The hotel and wellness area were “alright”, but for 137CHF a night, they were 3/5. Not bad, but definitely not luxurious. The rooms are pretty basic, but the beds are comfortable. The sauna area was a little underwhelming, but it was fine for what it was.The ride back was pretty cold. I should have put snow pants on or something, because 1.5h on the bike on the highway at 120km/h was COLD. I thought I would never be warm again when we got home, even with all that time in the sauna.Kay made big hot chocolates for us with the rest of the Bailey’s chocolate liquor and we warmed up well after a nice, long, hot shower.

Liechtenstein is in the book and marked the first weekend of six in a row abroad for me, with all my traveling planned ahead. 🙂
