About 30 minutes...if you drive slowly; Leichtenstein is pretty, interesting, um....trying to think of other nice things to say about it but lets just say if you blink you'll miss it. Maybe a good thing but it was just a quick way to get to Austria.... Read more >

London...welcome to a heatwave!

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [329]
